Why does SSA not establish congruence?
1) Move the sliders to adjust 2 sides of a triangle and the non-included angle. Keep adjusting until one or more triangles are formed.
2) Slide the "show triangles" slider to view possibilities.
3) Make an observation. Is it possible that the set slider information will guarantee exactly one triangle?
