I'm confused. Is there supposed to be an equation or something?
Kendall
its a triangle

Ok. I didn't see any diagrams so I was just making sure. What are you trying to figure out the solution of though?
Kendall
the number of possible solutions
Reiny
from you "diagram" you have the ambiguous case

sinB/6 = sinA/4
sinB = 6sin62°/4 = 1.32..
but the sine of any angle cannot be greater than 1,
so the triangle is not possible or <b>there is no solution</b>

thank you!
