Example: No-Solution Case - SSA C b = 20 in a = 18 in 76 A B Example (SSA): Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangle. A = 76, a = 18 inches, b = 20 inches There is no angle whose sine is 1.078. There is no triangle satisfying the given conditions.
Example: Two-Solution Case - SSA C 49.8 b = 12.8 cm a =11.4 cm 72.2 58 A B1 c Example (SSA): Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangle. A = 58, a = 11.4 cm, b = 12.8 cm 10.3 cm C 180 – 58 – 72.2= 49.8 Two different triangles can be formed. Example continues.
Example: Two-Solution Case – SSA continued C 49.8 b = 12.8 cm a =11.4 cm 72.2 58 A B1 c 10.3 cm C 14.2 b = 12.8 cm a = 11.4 cm 58 107.8 A B2 c Example (SSA) continued: Use the Law of Sines to solve the second triangle. A = 58, a = 11.4 cm, b = 12.8 cm B2 180–72.2 = 107.8 C 180 – 58 – 107.8= 14.2 3.3 cm
Area of an Oblique Triangle C Example: a b Find the area of the triangle. A = 74, b = 103 inches, c = 58 inches 74 A B c Area of an Oblique Triangle 103 in 58 in
Application 20 70 34 14 Application: A flagpole at a right angle to the horizontal is located on a slope that makes an angle of 14 with the horizontal. The flagpole casts a 16-meter shadow up the slope when the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the sun is 20. A B Flagpole height: b 16 m C The flagpole is approximately 9.5 meters tall.
