Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

The Law of Sines tells you the relationship between sides and angles of a triangle.

Law of Sines

The Law of Sines tells you ...

sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c

Using the given information, this would tell us ...

sin(55°)/12 = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/27

Then angle C would be ...

sin(C) = (27/12)sin(55°) ≈ 1.843

There is no angle whose sine is greater than 1. The triangle we seek does not exist. (Side BC is too short relative to side AB.)
