Find angle when

°
use the Law of Sines:

there is no real solution
For ASS (SSA) theorem so there are solutions and !

answer: IMPOSSIBLE

Law of Sines
sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b
sin(A) = a*sin(B)/b
sin(A) = 23*sin(28)/9
sin(A) = 1.19976 approximately

At this point we can stop.
There aren't any real number solutions because the range of y = sin(x) is
The largest sin(A) can get is sin(A) = 1.

Therefore, a triangle is not possible.
