Chapter 6, Problem 6CT

To determine

To find: The solution for the given triangle.

Answer to Problem 6CT

The triangle is not possible.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given sides of triangle are $b=5.2$ and $c=10.1$ . The angle of the triangle is $B=130°$ .

Calculation:

The triangle of the given specification is not possible as the angel $B=130°$ is the largest angle and the side opposite to it must also be the largest side. But that is not true as the $c=10.1$ is larger than $b=5.2$ .

Thus, the triangle is not possible.
