• So far we have learned how to solve for only one type of triangle
• Right Triangles
• Next, we are going to be solving oblique triangles
• Any triangle that is not a right triangle

• To solve an oblique triangle, we must know 3 pieces of information:
a) 1 Side of the triangle
b) Any 2 other componentsa) Either 2 sides, an angle and a side, and 2 angles

What we covered:
• Solving right triangles using the Law of Sines when given:
1) Two angles and a side (ASA or AAS)2) One side and two angles (SSA)
• Tomorrow we will continue with SSA
![Page 16: Law of Sines Section 6.1. So far we have learned how to solve for only one type of triangle Right Triangles Next, we are going to be solving oblique triangles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b897f8b9ab0599be04b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SSA
The Ambiguous Case
![Page 17: Law of Sines Section 6.1. So far we have learned how to solve for only one type of triangle Right Triangles Next, we are going to be solving oblique triangles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b897f8b9ab0599be04b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Yesterday• Yesterday we used the Law of Sines to solve
problems that had two angles as part of the given information.
• When we are given SSA, there are 3 possible situations.
1) No such triangle exists2) One triangle exists3) Two triangles exist
![Page 18: Law of Sines Section 6.1. So far we have learned how to solve for only one type of triangle Right Triangles Next, we are going to be solving oblique triangles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b897f8b9ab0599be04b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Consider if you are given a, b, and A
A
ab h
Can we solve for h?
bh A Sin
h = b Sin A
If a < h, no such triangle exists
![Page 19: Law of Sines Section 6.1. So far we have learned how to solve for only one type of triangle Right Triangles Next, we are going to be solving oblique triangles.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b897f8b9ab0599be04b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Consider if you are given a, b, and A
A
ab h
If a = h, one triangle exists

Consider if you are given a, b, and A
A
ab h
If a > h, one triangle exists

Hint, hint, hint…
• Assume that there are two triangles unless you are proven otherwise.

Problems with SSA
1) Solve the first triangle (if possible)2) Subtract the first angle you found from 1803) Find the next angle knowing the sum of all
three angles equals 1804) Find the missing side using the angle you
found in step 3.
