BM = CM
Law of Cosines
Note : cos CMA = - cos BMA
We have these two equations
7^2 = 12^2 + BM^2 - 2(12 * BM) cos (BMA)
17^2 - 12^2 + BM^2 - 2(12 *BM) cos (CMA)
7^2 = 12^2 + BM^2 - 2(12 * BM) cos (BMA)
17^2 = 12^2 + BM^2 + 2(12 *BM) cos (BMA) add these
338 = 288 + 2BM^2
50 = 2BM^2
25 = BM^2
BM = 5 = CM
BC = 10
However, this triangle is impossible because BC + AB must be > AC
