Criteria for the Ambiguous Case...
•
Must be given SSA
•
Given angle is acute
•
a < b b
a
*** If ALL 3 criteria are met, then...
CALCULATE THE ALTITUDE
alt = b sin A
A
B
CASE 1: a < altitude; there is NO SOLUTION
CASE 2: a = altitude; there is ONE SOLUTION [Right Triangle]
CASE 3: a >altitude; this is the 'AMBIGUOUS CASE'...TWO SOLUTIONS
1) Acute Triangle (angle, θ, is found with Law of Sines)
2) Obtuse Triangle (angle is 180ο ­ θ)
