Question

Please help me! Will medal! Helpp
You are asked to find all solutions to a triangle of type SSA. How many solutions are possible?

Answer 1

@TrojanPoem You know this one? Sorry I'm tagging you so much I'm just literally clueless for most of these : (

Answer 2

a. 0
b 1
c. 2
d. 0, 1, or 2
Those are my choices. I think it's either c or d, although I'm probably wrong.

Answer 3

No problem, you could tag me any time.



SSA triangle is when we know 2 sides and an angle which is not the one between them.

Let's assume we know both a , b
and the angle <b

use the sine rule:

a/SinA = b/sinb = c/SinC

so we can notice that we know b/sinb and a

so we can find sinA ( might be + or -)

now we have A + B + C = 180
we can also find C

so this will have 2 solutions.

Answer 4

I got it, thanks!

Answer 5

I meant + , - that if positive we will be either in 1st or 2nd quarter , negative 3rd or 4rth so in all cases you have 2 values for the angle.
