#color(red)("Triangle cannot exist with the given measurements."#

Explanation:

#color(purple)(a = 6, hat A = (7pi)/24, b = 9, hat B = (5pi) / 24#

To find the area of the triangle.

THEOREM . #"A greater angle of a triangle is opposite a greater side. Let ABC be a triangle in which angle ABC is greater than angle BCA; then side AC is also greater than side AB"#

#color(brown)("Though " hat A" is greater than "hat B, " side a is less than b."#

Hence a triangle cannot exist with the given measurements.
