The document includes multiple problems with solutions rounded to the nearest tenth.
Law of Sines Ambiguous Case Date________________ Period____
State the number of possible triangles that can be formed using the given measurements. 1) m A = 110°, c = 19 cm, a = 32 cm 2) m A = 131°, a = 25 yd, c = 8 yd
3) m B = 100°, a = 33 km, b = 29 km 4) m B = 61°, a = 35 mi, b = 32 mi
5) m A = 68°, c = 34 yd, a = 9 yd 6) m A = 57°, c = 27 m, a = 25 m
Solve each triangle. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.
7) m B = 27°, a = 28 ft, b = 18 ft 8) m C = 54°, b = 24 km, c = 23 km
