Find B in the following triangle, if it exist.
a= 31m, b=42m, c=60m
(Enter your answer rounded to the nearest ten minutes.)
=====================
How would it not exist?

Use the Cosine Law:
b%5E2+=+a%5E2+%2B+c%5E2+-+2ac%2Acos%28B%29
1764+=+961+%2B+3600+-+3720%2Acos%28B%29
cos(B) =~ 0.75188172
B =~ 41º10'
