What formula do you use to find the perimerter of a SSA triangle?

An SSA triangle is ambiguous.
Suppose the triangle is ABC and, with conventional labelling, you know a, b and angle A.
Then by the cosine rule, a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc*Cos(A)
This equation will give rise to a quadratic equation in cwhich has 2 solutions. The perimeter is then a + b + c1 or a + b + c2

How many solutions could a triangle of a problem type ssa have?
An SSA type has two possible solutions.
Why is SSA not a congruent shortcut?
SSA is ambiguous. If A is not a right angle, then there are two possible configurations for the triangle. So they need not be congruent.
What is SSA in geometry?
It refers to the congruence of two sides and a non-included angle of one triangle with that of another. SSA does not imply congruence of the triangles.
Is it true triangles satisfying SSA are congruent?
No. SSA is ambiguous. Unless A = 90 degrees, there are two possible configurations for the triangle. So they need not be congruent.
What is ass or ssa congruence postulate?
The ASS postulate would be that:if an angle and two sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angle and two sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.The SSA postulate would be similar.Neither is true.
Is it possible to construct a triangle acruatly given ssa?
No, it is an ambiguous case: there are two possible configurations.
Why AA and SSA are no valid methods to prove triangles congruent?
Because you need information about all three parts of the triangle, either the side or the angle opposite it, for each of the sides of a triangle. In AA you are missing the third angle, you could have a triangle where both angles were the same but the height could be different giving you a taller or shorter triangle. In SSA, the angle would be the one opposite the first side, so you have no information about the third side
Why does the SSA postulate work only with the right triangle?
You can't use SSA or ASS as a postulate because it doesn't determine that the triangles are congruent; right triangles are most likely determined by HL: hypotenuse leg- genius!
What does SSA stand for?
SSA is something to do with constructing triangles but i am trying to find out what it means lol sorry for wasting your time and hopefully you may be able to help me answer it
What are the only two triangle congruence shortcuts that do not work?
The only Two Triangle congruence shortcuts that do not prove congruence are: 1.AAA( Three pairs of angles in a triangle) & 2.ASS or SSA(If the angle is not in between the two sides like ASA.
What year was colt ssa S05547A made?
You will have to call Colt to find out.
What is the difference between a ssa 303 payment and ssa 310 deposit?
Ssa 303 is your disability monthly ssa 310 is Ssdi
