How to use the law of sines for the ambiguous case with two triangles

The video tutorial explains the concept of the ambiguous case in triangles, particularly focusing on the side-side-angle (SSA) scenario. It demonstrates how this can lead to no triangle, one triangle, or two possible triangles. The instructor uses the Law of Sines to solve for unknown angles and sides, illustrating the process with examples. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of checking for two possible solutions when dealing with SSA cases and provides a step-by-step guide to solving these problems.
