SSA triangles are considered to be ambiguous because they can have more than one solution. If only Law of Sines is applied to a SSA triangle, you will only be able to find the solutions to one triangle, when there may be a second. In order for a triangle to be possible, the sides must be greater than the height of the triangle. However when given a side measure greater than the the height, the side can form two different triangles. If one of the given sides of a triangle's length is less than the height, there can be no triangle formed since the sides don't connect, so there is no solution. There can also only be one solution if one of the sides is the same as the height of the triangle, or if two sides are equal.

Zeros are the numbers that make the factors equal zero. Division helps us factor polynomials by finding the zeros that are more difficult to find. The degree of the polynomial helps us predict the number of zeros. If the leading coefficient is raised to the third degree, you will have three zeros. This does not always tell us the number of factors because sometimes there are repeated factors included in that number.
Graph A represents a constant rate of the flag being raised over time. Graph B shows the flag being raised a lot within the first few minutes and then leveling out as time passes. Graph C represents the boy scout constantly raising and lowering the flag as time moves on. Graph D shows the flag being raised slowly over time and not at a consistent rate. Graph E represents the the boy scout starting of by slowly raising the flag and then suddenly starts raising it faster before leveling out again. Graph F shows the boy scout raising the flag as time does not move. Graph B is the most realistic, as the boy doesn't raise the flag at a static rate, and the height of the flag doesn't continue to rise, instead, leveling out when it reaches the top of the pole. Graph F is the most unrealistic, as time would not pass as the flag is raised.
