Triangle 1:
Given: a = 9, b = 3, A = 50°
To determine the number of possible triangles, we can use the Law of Sines. Let's calculate the value of sin(B):

sin(B) = (b / a) * sin(A)
sin(B) = (3 / 9) * sin(50°) ≈ 0.1908

Since sin(B) is less than 1, there is only one possible solution for the triangle.

Using the Law of Sines, we can find the remaining side and angles:
c ≈ (b / sin(B)) ≈ (3 / 0.1908) ≈ 15.727
B ≈ arcsin((b * sin(A)) / a) ≈ arcsin((3 * sin(50°)) / 9) ≈ 23.746°
C ≈ 180° - A - B ≈ 106.254°

The measurements for the triangle are:
B ≈ 23.7°
C ≈ 106.3°
c ≈ 15.7

Therefore, the correct choice is A.

Triangle 2:
Given: a = 11, b = 13, A = 53°
Let's calculate the value of sin(B):

sin(B) = (b / a) * sin(A)
sin(B) = (13 / 11) * sin(53°) ≈ 0.9561

Since sin(B) is greater than 1, there are no possible solutions for this triangle.

Therefore, the correct choice is C.

So, for the given measurements:
Triangle 1 has one possible solution.
Triangle 2 has no possible solutions.
