State whether the given measurements determine zero, one, or two triangles. C = 31°, a = 13, c = 11
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
The given angle is opposite the shorter of the given sides, so there are two possible triangles.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The law of sines tells you that sin(A) = a/c·sin(C). There will be 0 triangles if that is greater than 1. There will be 1 triangle if that is exactly 1 (unlikely with rational values of sides and angles). There will be 2 triangles if sin(A) < 1, as it is here.
