The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( x \) for which there are two possible triangles given \( \angle A = 30^\circ \), \( b = 10 \), and \( a = x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Triangle**: We have a triangle \( ABC \) where \( \angle A = 30^\circ \), side \( b = 10 \), and side \( a = x \). We need to find the conditions under which two triangles can be formed. 2. **Using the Law of Sines**: According to the Law of Sines: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \sin B = \frac{b \cdot \sin A}{a} = \frac{10 \cdot \sin 30^\circ}{x} = \frac{10 \cdot \frac{1}{2}}{x} = \frac{5}{x} \] 3. **Finding Conditions for Two Triangles**: For two triangles to exist, the sine of angle \( B \) must satisfy: \[ 0 < \sin B < 1 \] This leads to two inequalities: - \( \frac{5}{x} > 0 \) (which is always true for \( x > 0 \)) - \( \frac{5}{x} < 1 \) 4. **Solving the Inequality**: From \( \frac{5}{x} < 1 \): \[ 5 < x \quad \Rightarrow \quad x > 5 \] 5. **Considering the Triangle Inequality**: We also need to ensure that the triangle inequality holds. The triangle inequality states: - \( a + b > c \) - \( a + c > b \) - \( b + c > a \) In our case, we need to find the upper limit for \( x \): - Since \( b = 10 \), we need \( x < 10 + c \). 6. **Finding the Maximum Value of \( x \)**: To ensure that \( x < 10 + c \), we can analyze the situation where \( c \) approaches its minimum value. The minimum value of \( c \) occurs when \( x \) is maximized. Therefore, we need to find the maximum \( x \) such that: \[ x < 10 \] 7. **Final Range for \( x \)**: Combining the inequalities, we have: \[ 5 < x < 10 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the values of \( x \) for which there are 2 possible triangles is: \[ \boxed{(5, 10)} \]
