An Ambiguous Case of Triangle Construction[br][br]Move the point FreeLine to invsetigate where your hook ends up.[br][br]Use the sliders to adjust the values to investigate the following possibilities:[br][br]If the Line is less than the Height (Line<Height), then there is no triangle possible (NO solution)[br]If the Line exactly equals the Height (Line=Height), there is a right-triangle (ONE solution)[br]If the Line is longer than the height but shorter than the rod (Height<Line<Rod), there are TWO solutions[br]If the Line is equal to or longer then the Rod (Line>=Rod) then there is ONE solution
