Step-by-step explanation:
The given angle is opposite the <em>shortest</em> of the given sides, and sin(A) < 5/6, so there are two possible solutions.
The law of sines tells you that angle C will satisfy ...
sin(C)/ab = sin(A)/bc
sin(C) = ab/bc·sin(A) = 6/5·1/2 = 3/5
The given angle is 30°, so the sum of remaining angles must be less than 150°. There are two possible angles less than 150° that have a sine of 3/5:
C₁ = arcsin(3/5) = 36.87°
C₂ = 180° -arcsin(3/5) = 143.13°
You can construct two triangles with the given measurements.
