Abstract

Textbooks in plane trigonometry generally treat the solution of oblique triangles by the Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, etc. However, if one uses some of these laws without a complete understanding of their limitations, incorrect results are often obtained. The only case which most textbooks treat adequately in this respect is the solution of a triangle in which two sides and an angle opposite one of them are given, usually referred to as the “Ambiguous Case.” However, in other cases, such as the one in which two sides and the included angle are given, or the one in which the three sides are given, care must be taken if incorrect solutions are to be avoided.
