Side Side Angle Applet

In constructing triangles, side-side-angle does not in general, uniquely determine the triangle.

This applet lets you build your intuition on this matter by trying to specifying two lengths and a non-included angle, and see what triangles are constructed.

Sometimes you do not get any triangle at all.  Sometimes you get a uniquely determined triangle.  Sometimes you get two triangles matching the specifications.
Sorry, the GeoGebra Applet could not be started. Please make sure that Java 1.4.2 (or later) is installed and activated. (click here to install Java now)
