SSA, The Ambiguous Case for the Law of Sines

A visual explanation of the ambiguous case for the Law of Sines given Side Side Angle (SSA). Sides a and b and ∠A are given and can be changed by the user using the sliders or directly inputting values. The student should start by increasing the length of side a, using the slider, going through all 3 cases. Then change all values at will to see the effects.
