Using the law of sines to solve a triangle with SSA - One Triangle

👉 Learn how to determine if a given SSA triangle has 1, 2 or no possible triangles. Given two adjacent side lengths and an angle opposite one of them (SSA or ASS), then there are 3 possible cases: there can be 1 solution, 2 solutions, and no solution.

Using the law of sines, we can obtain the value of the angle opposite the second given side length.
Case 1: If the product of the sine of the given angle and the given side adjacent to the given angle is greater than the given side opposite the given angle, then there is no possible solution satisfying the given values.
Case 2: If the obtained angle is greater than the given angle, then there are 2 possible solutions satisfying the given values.
Case 3: If the obtained angle is less than the given angle, then there is only 1 possible solution satisfying the given values.

Every single video you've put up has helped me in Precalculus in college. I am so thankful that you put these up on youtube so everyone can properly learn mathematics

[shahdi]

this dude is literally getting me through my exams. you’re doing gods work

[moentwan]

You literallu saved my life. There are a lot of videos that show more complex and confusing ways of doing this and you just explain it really easy. THANK U

[shelleymitra]

This was actually a homework problem i had trouble on. Very helpful! Thanks!

[DragonCatProductions]

Mr. McLogan thank you for teaching me math during coronavirus lockdown lol :)
This was on my homework and we didnt learn it in class yet so i googled the topic and your video was the recommended clip

[lexi]

Thank you so much. I swear our teacher gives us one example and then gives us something else to do that she never covered. It happens every single lesson the same way.

[alexandrobrin]

I think you are a really good teacher I watched your video to joh my memory on how to do sin law and you did I really hood job to keep me engaged and interested. Plus you look like your having a really great time teaching and that is exactly what I want from my teachers. I hope you continue to do what you love

[jetzbeshort]

You're the reason I just got an A on a trig test I wish you were my math teacher.

[anasfarhan]

It's either this is easy or your teaching skills makes it easy to understand

[albertomunoz]

Professor McLogan, I just want to say Thank you! Your videos have helped me get through my Math classes the last year and a half!! 2021!

[aidansmith]

I learned more from this video than a two 45 min classes

[Nug]

Thanks for showing all the step i could not remember what the point of the inverse was and many other video skipped the explanation. Thank You!!!

[chillanime]

Everytime I watch just your video, I always understand plz be my tutor
😅

[ydunamartinee]

to be honest, whenever I search for videos like these, I always scroll up until i see your video sir. I got trust issues haha lol

[jjharden]

God bless you sir. Love match teachers who make it simple!

[gelsieeeee]

Thank you so much, you have really helped me understand our math lesson!!

[owlnightz]

thank you so much! im sick right now and my teacher doesn’t send out videos so im left with nothing but this is so helpful

[judahrue]

Totally forgot you had to inverse sine the angles. THANK YOU

[MrSir-fdns]

You look like a cool movie villain. Like a super smart guy with ill intentions, like the Negan type. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

[abbley]

Thank you so much, I was so stuck on what to do to get the angle B lol!
