Today we talked about the "Ambiguous Case" and when to use it. There are three parts to the "Ambiguous Case."
1. When a=h or a is greater than or equal to b, you will have one solution when solving for the angle of an oblique triangle.
2. When a is less than h, you will have no solution for the angle of your oblique triangle.
3. When h is less than a is less than b, you will have two solutions for the angle of your oblique triangle.
We solved problems which involved these situations. We were able to grasp most of it and will continue with this tomorrow.
For more information on the "Ambiguous Case" I have a link to a list of videos that may help you, many of them were good so I will let you watch them and decide which one helps you the most.

I know myself and many others in our math class like music and I try to give everything a chance so listen to Sherman Downey and the Ambiguous Case's song "Keep Your Head Up."

Keeping your head up is something you all need to do during finals, you will make it, believe me.
