Let's draw the triangle first:

We are given 2 sides and 1 angle.

The angle is not between the two sides.

"S" denotes side and "A" denotes angle.

We need 2 sides and 1 angles, so two "S" and one "A".

From the answer choices, we can eliminate first and second choice.

We have:

SSA

and

SAS

• SAS - Side Angle Side, where the angle is between the sides.

,

• SSA - Side Side Angle, where the angle is ,not between, the two sides given.

Thus, our triangle falls into "SSA".

AnswerSSA
