Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Identify given angle A, opposite side a, and adjacent side b.
2. Compute height h=b sin A for acute A.
3. Compare a with h and b, then decide number of triangles.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Assuming SSA always gives one triangle.
