Assume a triangle ABC has standard labeling. Determine whether SAA, ASA, SSA, SAS, or SSS is given. Then decide
whether the law of sines or the law of cosines should be used to begin solving the triangle.
-a, b, and B
A) ASA; law of cosines
B) SSA; law of sines
C) ASA; law of sines
D) SSA; law of cosines

SSA (Side-Side-Angle) is given because we have two sides (a and b) and a non-included angle (B). The law of sines is appropriate for solving SSA situations.
