Answer

No such triangle.

Work Step by Step

Using the Sine Law: $\dfrac{\sin A}{a} = \dfrac{\sin B}{b} \\ \dfrac{\sin 45.6^\circ}{234} = \dfrac{\sin B}{567}\\ \sin B = \dfrac{567 \sin 45.6^\circ}{234} \\ \sin B \approx 1.7312 $ Thus, for such values of $a,b$, and $A$, the Sine Law gives $\sin B \approx 1.7312 > 1$. Since the sine of any angle cannot exceed $1$, no such triangle exists.
