BQ#1: Unit P Concept 2 & 3: Law of sines SSA (one, none, two solutions). Law of Cosines SSS or SAS

2. Law of Sines

The triangle always has to be able to fit in a scale of 180 degrees. With the given sides and angle you have to determine whether it will be two, one, or none answer(s). When you are finding the prime sides/angles you will have to use the very first angle that you have found in order to do so. You use the reference angle from the first answer to find the prime answers, the prime answer will be in quadrant II. If all your angles add up to more than 180 on your prime side, you will have no second answer. If BOTH your answers are more than 180, you will have NO answers. If both answers add up to 180 exactly, you will have TWO possible answers.

4. Area formulas

         This will work with any side you have. The height has created a right triangle and this let's you use trig-functions. The height will be whatever you get for the sine of C times the side of a.
