In this video, we discuss the possibilities of solving an oblique triangle when two sides and one angle (not interior to the sides) are known and why the general solution set is necessarily ambiguous.

This is lecture 26 (part 1/4) of the lecture series offered by Dr. Andrew Misseldine for the course Math 1060 - Trigonometry at Southern Utah University.

This lecture is based upon general college trigonometry curriculum and not based upon an individual textbook. With that said, this lecture series is influenced by many great trigonometry textbooks on the market, namely Sullivan's, Stewart's, OpenStax's, McKeague's, Stitz-Zeager's, and many others.
