With given measurements, we cannot form a triangle.

Explanation:

#a = 8, b = 10, hat A = (5pi) / 24, hat B = (3pi) / 24#

We know greater side will have greater angle opposite to it. But in the given sum, though #(a = 8) < (b = 10), hat A = (5pi)/24#, which is greater than #hat B#.

hence we cannot form a triangle with the given measurements.
