...other given side, then the angle opposite that other given side, is always acute ; but when the given side, opposite the given angle, is less than the other given side, then the angle opposite that other given side may be either acute or obtuse, which consequently must... | |

...should be taken acute or obtuse. By reference to the construction, (Fig. 46,) we see that whenever the side opposite the given angle is less than the other given side, and greater than the perpendicular BD, the triangle will admit of two forms: ABC, in which the angle... | |

...than b, and therefore A may be either acute, right, or obtuse, but B must be acute. Therefore when the side opposite the given angle is less than the other given side, there are generally two solutions ; and when it is greater than the other side, there is only one solution.... | |
