Can’t do this problem¿ (triangle: m(angle B) = 73 degrees, side b opposite is 5 units, a = 7)

[BobbyGTheMan]

We are given a triangle, which has an angle of 73, and across from that is 5, and we are also given another side which is across form angle A. It looks like this. Can anyone help me with solving the Arcsin? Every time I get to the arcsin it’s a number greater than 1.

Maybe the correct answer is, that there is no such triangle. That can happen ... and it does here! (Try drawing the triangle with a ruler and protractor and see what happens.)
