`A = 76^@, a = 18, b = 20` Use the law of sines to solve (if possible) the triangle. If two solutions exist, find both. Round your answer to...

Given: `A=76^@, a=18, b=20`


The Law of Sines:  `a/sin(A)=b/sin(B)=c/sin(C)`


`18/sin(76)=20/sin(B)=c/sin(C)`



`18/sin(76)=20/sin(B)`


`sin(B)=[20sin(76)]/18`


`sin(B)=1.0781`


`B=arcsin(1.0781)`


Angle B does not exist. A triangle cannot be formed using the given information.
