Am I right???

I believe so yes

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

If you look at what angle side side is, you're given an angle |dw:1430802392602:dw|

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

A side |dw:1430802448286:dw|

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

And another side. We know the length of the last side, but not it's angle, so imagine a circle of options of where it could "land" |dw:1430802490928:dw|

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

So there are two options there. Since it's impossible for a line to intersect a circle 3 times, it's at most 2 possible triangles.

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

If it's a right angle it would be 1 possible solution, as the two triangles would "meet" when you pull the angle back if that makes sense.

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

It's possible for there to be an invalid triangle, b|dw:1430802871467:dw|
