A triangle has sides A, B, and C. Sides A and B have lengths of 4 and 3, respectively. The angle between A and C is #(pi)/3# and the angle between B and C is # (pi)/4#. What is the area of the triangle?

Side a greater than side b, but angle B greater than angle A. As the data is inconsistent, we cannot form a triangle.

Area of triangle is given by the formula #A_t = (1/2) a b sin C#

Given #a = 4, b = 3, hatA = pi/4, hatB = pi/3#

Side a greater than side b, but angle B greater than angle A. As the data is inconsistent, we cannot form a triangle.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
