Here is the problem: Solve the triangle with sides a equals 6, b equals 6, c equals 6.

2
00:00:08.101 --> 00:00:14.661
Side a is opposite angle A, b opposite B and c opposite C. This is the SSS case.

3
00:00:15.461 --> 00:00:17.783
Each angle from the law of cosines.

4
00:00:18.233 --> 00:00:19.510
Area and perimeter.

5
00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:38.224
So the answer is a equals 6, b equals 6, c equals 6; A equals 60°, B equals 60°, C equals 60°; area equals 15.58845727, perimeter equals 18.

6
00:00:38.674 --> 00:00:47.440
Three measurements including a side normally fix a triangle. Two sides with a non-included angle (SSA) can give zero, one or two triangles.

7
00:00:48.239 --> 00:01:03.251
Triangle 1: angles sum to 180°; a/sin A equals 6.92820323 equals c/sin C equals 6.92820323.
