Special cases

The indeterminate

case

If two sides and an adjacent acute angle are entered and
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

given data

If you are using the
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.
