Find the number of distinct triangles with the measurements a=1 b=2 and A=31 degrees

 

\(The \ height \ of \ a \ triangle \ ABC \)\(\)

\( with \ a=1,\ b = 2 \ and\ \alpha = 31° is \ h = 1.03.\)

\(\)

\(h=b\times\ sin31°=2\times sin31°=1.03008\)

 

 

The side a must be ≥ h.

                               1 < 1.3008  There is no triangle with the given sizes.    sad

 

If  a = 1.0300714982 then 1 triangle.  If  a > h then ∞ \(\color{blue}\times\) triangles.                  laugh  !
