Answer:

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Using sin Law,


(sinA)/(a)=(sinB)/(b)

Plugging the value of a, b and angle A


(sin62)/(13)=(sinB)/(9)


sinB=(9*sin62)/(13)


sinB=(9*0.8829)/(13)


sinB=0.61127

taking sin inverse on both sides


B=sin^(-1)(0.61127) =37.68

The may be another value of B that will called B' =
180-37.68=142.32

We will not consider this B' value because the um of angle B' and A will exceeds 180 degree (
142.32+62=204.32)

Thats why only one triangle is possible. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
