$color(indigo)("Since the values are inconsistent, we can not form a triangle with the given measures"$

$hat A = (5pi)/24, a = 17, hat B = (5pi) / 24, b = 4$

Equal angles will have equal sides opposite toit.

Given $hat A = hat B = (5pi) / 24$

$:. "side a must be equal to side b"$

But given $a = 17, b = 4$

$color(indigo)("Since the values are inconsistent, we can not form a triangle with the given measures"$
