Provide an appropriate response.Without using the law of sines, explain why no triangle ABC exists satisfying the conditions  b = 13.9 cm, and c = 22.8 cm.

What will be an ideal response?


Since B is an obtuse angle, the largest side of the triangle must be b, the side opposite B. This is not the case, since 13.9 < 22.8. Therefore, no such triangle exists.
