How many triangles are there that satisfy the conditions a = 14, b = 2, alpha= 66°?
diagram please
@vac33
There were no diagrams provided that why I'm stuck on it we're doing The Ambiguous Case for the Law of Sines
i know but alpha is opposite to wich side is it as per the general convention to be opposite to a
Only one. What you really have here is a SAS triangle. That is, since the two sides and the angle between are fixed, there exists only one triangle that has there measurements. The SAS automatically determine the other side and thus, the other angles. (source: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100120143946AACvbli)
but how do u know that the alpha is angle measure between two given lines
Here is the actually problem; and @privetek how do I know that alpha is between those known sides?
