Question

Find whether it is possible or not to construct a Δ whose measures are a=5,b=7,sinA=3/4

Open in App
Solution

sinA=3/4
using relation between sin and cos
=>cosA=19/16=±7/4
Now using cosine rule,
cosA=b2+c2a22bc=24+c214c=±74
2c2±77c+48=0
Discriminant of above quadratic is, D=49×78×48=41<0
Hence with given set of information, no real triangle is possible.
