A triangle has sides A, B, and C. Sides A and B have lengths of 8 and 10, respectively. The angle between A and C is (3pi)/24 and the angle between B and C is (5pi)/24. What is the area of the triangle?

With given measurements, we cannot form a triangle.

Explanation:

![https://study.com/academy/lesson/http://inequalities-in-one-triangle.html](https://useruploads.socratic.org/RMVu5uMTdaYqmZqzCJZM_greater%20angle%20greater%20side.jpg)

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.
