Chapter 5 Project: Determining the Number of Triangles in the Ambiguous Case (SSA): A Construction Exploration

Question 1:

Sin C is the same in both triangles in the ambiguous case because Sin A is the same as Sin C.

Question 2:

The thing that I discovered about the number of triangles you can make given SSA (two sides and an angle is that if BC is < or =" AB,">

Obtuse Triangle

a. BC > AB makes one triangle

b. BC = AB makes zero triangle

c. BC <>

Acute Triangle

a. AC > BC > h makes two triangles

b. BC > AC > h makes one triangle

c. BC = h makes one right triangle

d. BC <>
