Math 20-1 Chapter 1 Sequences and Series 2.3B The Ambiguous Case of the Sine Law The Sine Law State the formula for the Law of Sines. What specific information must be given in a triangle to apply the Law of Sines? What information must you have to define the specific ratio? Given: two angles and one side or two sides and an angle opposite one of the given sides one side and its opposite angle Given: AAS or SSA

Chapter 2 A ship at sea is sighted from two coast guard observation posts on shore. The angle between the line of sight from post A and the line between the two posts is 110 o. From post B, the angle is 30 o. If the two observation posts are 15 km apart, sketch a diagram that could be used to determine the distance, to the nearest tenth of a kilometre, between each observation post and the ship. Sketching a Diagram 15 km 30 ° 110 ° coast guard observation post B coast guard observation post A Write the equations that could be used to determine the distances to the observation posts

When two sides and the non-included angle of a triangle are given, the triangle may not be unique. It is possible that no triangle, one triangle, or two triangles exist with the given measurements. This is referred to as the Ambiguous Case of the Law of Sines. SSA Determine the Number of Triangles b A When you solve for the measure of angle B, there may be two solutions. Angle B could be in QI or QII

Angle A is Obtuse Number of Triangles SketchConditions You must compare the length of side a to side b

Angle A is Acute Number of Triangles SketchConditions You must compare the length of side a to side b and also the height of the triangle, h

When two sides and the non-included angle of a triangle are given, the triangle may not be unique. It is possible that no triangle, one triangle, or two triangles exist with the given measurements. A B C a b If bsinA < a < b, then 2 triangles are possible. Determine the Number of Triangles SSA This is referred to as the Ambiguous Case of SSA. B1B1 Did you notice the two possible angle for B are supplementary? 2.3.6

First check: a < b Calculate bsinA height bsinA = 15sin40 = < 10 < 15 bsinA< a < b h < a < b Therefore, 2 triangles exist. AB C AB1B1 C In the second case angle B is now a second quadrant angle. Therefore, TRUE The Ambiguous Case Triangle Round angles to one decimal place 2.3.7

AB C A1A1 How Many Solutions are Possible? Check: Angle B acute or obtuse? Check: Is opposite side < hypotenuse ? Check: Is height < opposite side < hypotenuse side? 17 < 20 20sin53 º < 17 < < 17 < 20 Conclusion:Ambiguous Case: two triangles are possible

Use Sine Law bsinA < a < b 2.3.9
