The insult to the industry on the right is where my art career started. Although far from elegant, this little guy does do one thing quite well; he expresses simplicity. Displayed here is the equation r=(a)sin(b)theta with some minor tweaks. This most glorious display of craftsmanship was created only after the most intense mathematical training. Few are able to achieve the skill set required to construct such beauty. A complicated combination of r=(a)sin(b)theta and r=c+(a)sin(b)theta formulas with major tweaking were used to design this masterpiece. |

SSA is considered ambiguous because the provided information has the potential to create one, two, or zero triangles. This is because the side across from the given angle is able to be oriented in more than one way (see Figure 1). The Law of Cosines can't apply to SSA because there's no way of telling how the opposite side may be oriented. Figures 1 and 2 allow for a more in-depth description. Figure 1 displays possible orientations for when side a is greater than the height (h). Because there are two possible orientations, there are two possible triangles. If side a was equivalent to the height, only one triangle would be possible. Figure 2 shows what happens when side a is shorter than the height; there is no triangle possible. The different orientations for side a is what makes SSA ambiguous.
