About this video

In this video, we demonstrate how to solve oblique triangles when two sides and one angle (not interior to these sides) are known, the so-called ambiguous case, using the Law of Sines and recognizing that two solutions exist.

This is lecture 26 (part 4/4) of the lecture series offered by Dr. Andrew Misseldine for the course Math 1060 - Trigonometry at Southern Utah University.
