Answer:

True.

Explanation:

We use law of sine to solve the triangle when two sides and angle (SSA) is given.There are different cases possible .

1) If a < b sin A.

In this case No possible triangles or we can say there will be zero solutions.

2) If a > b sin A.

In this case there are Two triangles possible.In such cases at least one of the solutions will be an obtuse triangle.

3) If a = b sin A.

We have Unique solution or one solution.This is true for a right triangle.

Hence the given statement SSA triangle problems may have zero, one, or two solutions is True.
