Question

anonymous · Answer

@Mertsj Can you help me please?

directrix · Answer

Have you studied the Law of Sines or the Law of Cosines?

Two sides and the non-included angle of a triangle is known as the ambiguous case because the possibility exists that there could be zero, one, or two triangles with the given specifications.

anonymous · Answer

Is the answer "two"? Because a is less than b? @Directrix

directrix · Answer

I don't know the answer yet, and the a<b "rule" is something I have not studied. I do these by cranking out the actual values.
