Since sin thetasinθ can not have a value more than 1, (sin 90 = 1)(sin90=1), no triangle is possible with the given measurements.

Explanation:

Given : a = 6, c = 10, hat A = 45^@a=6,c=10,ˆA=45

Applying the law of sines,

sin A / a = sin B / b = sin C / csinAa=sinBb=sinCc

sin C = (c * sin A) / a = (10 ^ sin 45) / 6 = 1.1785#

Since sin thetasinθ can not have a value more than 1, (sin 90 = 1)(sin90=1), no triangle is possible with the given measurements.
