The indeterminate

If two sides and an adjacent acute angle are entered and

case

there are two solutions, only one will be displayed initially.

 

In this case, the

 

button is displayed (as in

 

this example). You can

 

tap

to display the

 

second solution and tap

 

again to return to

 

the first solution.

No solution with

If you are using the

given data

general input form

 

and you enter more

 

than 3 values, the

 

values might not be

 

consistent, that is, no

 

triangle could

 

possibly have all the

 

values you specified.

 

In these cases, No sol with given data appears on

 

the screen.

 

 

The situation is similar if you are using the simpler input

 

form (for a right-angled triangle) and you enter more than

 

two values.

 

Not enough data

If you are using the

 

general input form,

 

you need to specify at

 

least three values for

 

the Triangle Solver to

 

be able to calculate

 

the remaining

attributes of the triangle. If you

specify less than three, Not enough data appears on the screen.

If you are using the simplified input form (for a right- angled triangle), you must specify at least two values.
