I. using two angles and side
use 60, and 90, know other angle is 30.
A. use side= 2cm could be any side, so three triangles possible
B. use side=10 cm could be any side, so three more triangles possible.
II using two sides and 90 degree angle, only two triangles valid (cannot have hypotenuse =2 if one side is 10)
III. using two sides and 60 degree angle, only two triangles are valid (trouble with a=2,b=10, A=60)
10 triangles possible, 8 of them right triangles so area has sin(90)=1
the legs of the right triangles are, (2,√12),(1,√3),(2,2/√3),(10,√300),(5,√75),(10,10/√3),(2,10),(2,√96)
for the triangle a=10, b=2, C=60 degrees --- use formula
for triangle a=10,b=2, A=60 degrees, using law of sines find out C=115 degrees --- use formula

Hello Mr David, I can not seem to figure out what this means, I am in year 10 and this looks like University level stuff. I have figured out 10 unique possible triangles that can be made with 90 degrees, 60 degrees, 2cm and 10cm, using only 3 of them at once and figured out the areas of them. Is 10 triangles correct sir?05/26/22
