Non-Right Triangle - SSA - Ambiguous Case
Move the sliders to select the appropriate triangle.
The show circle checkbox for side a will make a circle visible with a radius of a demonstrating the two possible sides.
Check the show solutions checkbox to show the solutions.
Ambiguous Cases involving Sine Law
Try to distinguish between each of the cases in the lesson
Angle a is Acute (< 90)
Case 1: a < bsinA --> No Solution possible
Case 2: a = bsinA --> One solution (Right Triangle)
Case 3: a > b sinA & a < b --> Two solutions
Case 4: a > bsinA & a >= b --> One solution (i.e. Starting with isosceles)
Angle a is obtuse ( > 90)
Case 1: a <= bsinA --> too short. No triangle possible
Case 2: a > bsinA --> one triangle possible
