State whether the given measurements determine zero, one, or two triangles. C = 30°, a = 28, c = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got one. Am I right?

Let's see. One possible (not to scale) triangle is: |dw:1393100475995:dw| This gives side-side-angle. SSA is not a congruence postulate; there are two possible triangles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ugh. My school is too confusing. Mine says if the acute angle is given, and a>b, then one triangle exists... Maybe I worked it out wrong..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1393100624798:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm. I never heard about the whole a>b thing. You're not given a value for b, though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, wait. That is for the lowercase a. I was doing it for the big angle A. How do you find h?
