When any two sides and one of the opposite acute angle are given, under certain additional conditions two triangles are possible. The case when two triangles are possible is called the ambiguous case. In fact when any two sides and the angle opposite to one of them are given either no triangle is posible or only one triangle is possible or two triangles are possible. In the ambiguous case, let a,b and angle A are given and c_(1), c_(2) are two values of the third side c.
