The Ambiguous Angle-Side-Side Case

This page helps make sense of the potentially ambiguous Angle-Side-Side* relation in a triangle. Adjust the angle, then set a side, then set the third side. You may get no triangles, one triangle, or two triangles. *Sometimes called S-S-A, but that is the reverse of this actual construction.
