Solution
We are given the following triangle information:
We need to use the Law of Sines to solve for all possible triangles. The Law of Sines states:
Step 1: Calculate angle
From the Law of Sines, we can write:
First, use the Law of Sines to find angle :
Solving for :
Now, I'll calculate this value.
We find that:
Now, let's calculate the possible values for . The principal value of can be found by taking the inverse sine of :
Also, if there is a second possible triangle, will be:
Let's calculate these angles.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

Here are some follow-up questions that you might consider:
- How does the Law of Sines apply to solving non-right triangles?
- What is the ambiguous case in trigonometry, and how do we handle it?
- How can we verify if one or two triangles are possible with given side and angle conditions?
- What does it mean if the sine of an angle is greater than 1 when solving triangles?
- How do we handle cases where no triangle is possible?
Tip: When solving trigonometric problems, always check if the sine values you get are realistic, as sine values must be between -1 and 1.
