Step-by-step explanation:

"5/8 of the siamese cats said that they didn't mind lapping water from a bowl"

s = number of Siamese cats

(5/8)s = number of lappers

"another 3/16 preferred to use a straw"

(3/16)s = number of sippers

"39 of the Siamese cats gave one of those two answers"

(5/8)s + (3/16)s = 39

solve for s

(5/8 +  3/16)s = 39

(13/16)s = 39

s = 48

(sin 42)/31. = sinx)/37

sinx = 37 (sin42)/31

= 37× 0.66/31 = 0.787

x= 51.9

other angle opposite to y = 180-51.9-42

= 180- 93.9 =86.1

so

sin42)/31 = sin 86.1)/y

0.021 = 0.997 /y

y= 0.997/0.021 =47.47

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
