Side‐Angle Relationships in Acute and Obtuse Triangles
Oblique triangles a triangle that does not contain a 900 angle.
Acute Triangle a triangle which all angles are less than 900.
Obtuse triangles in which one of the angles is an obtuse angle. Have one angle that is greater than 900 and but less than 1800.

Example 1: Finding an unknown angle
Consider the triangle below. Find ∠f. Round to nearest degree.
ALWAYS check for ambiguous case with SSA when solving for an angle with the Law of Sines. There maybe one or more solutions or even no solution when solving for the triangle. You will not be reminded to check in the question on test/exam.
in order to have 2 triangles, Angle given in question and supplementary angle must have sum less than 180o ,

Look at your table of values, between 0° and 180°, for which two angles does Sin(x) = 0.5?
What do these two angles sum to?
Look at your table of values, between 0° and 180°, for which two angles does Sin(x) = 0.866?
What do these two angles sum to?
Find the value of the following,
Sin 20° = ______ Sin 45° = ______ Sin 10° =____

Section 4.3 - The Ambiguous Case of the Sine Law
Ambiguous Case of the Sine Law: a situation in which 2 triangles can be drawn. This may occur when the given measurements are the lengths of 2 sides and the measure of an angle that is not contained by the 2 sides (SSA)By definition the word ambiguous means open to two or more interpretations. Such is the case for certain solutions when working with the LAW OF SINES
