Geometrical Interpretation
We assume side AC = b and AB = c. In addition, assume the unknown side BC = b lies along x - axis.
Case 00 < C < 900 :- In
this case we may get one or two triangles or no triangle satisfying
the data. Through C a straight line AC = b and angle between x-axis
and AC be Ð C. Draw AD = h, perpendicular
to x-axis. The various possibilities are described in the following
table.
