Question 533145: How can I find x and y in a scalene triangle? there's x and y and 38 deg. on each corner

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Not enough information to even guess out what the problem is like.
If the triangle has two angles that measure 38 degrees, it is an isosceles triangle, with two sides of equal length (the sides opposite those 38-degree angles). Scalene is the name for triangles where all the angles and sides have different measures.
There are infinity of triangles with two angles measuring 38 degrees. There's the large one with two sides of length 1000 and a third side of length 1576. There is the small one with two sides of length 1.000 and a third side of length 1.576. There are smaller, and larger, and in-between sizes, all with the same shape/angles/ratios of side lengths. They have such a family resemblance that we call them similar.
