THE SIX CASES
(Bella Obal) Problems in the solution of oblique spherical triangles may be classified into the following six cases: Case I. Three sides given Case II. Three angles given Case III. Two sides and the included angle given Case IV. Two angles and the included side given Case V. Two sides and the angle opposite one of them given Case VI. Two angles and the side opposite one of them given Cases I and II, III and IV, V and VI, are essentially equivalent (in pairs) because of the relations between the parts of a triangle and the part of its polar triangle. For example, if the three sides of a triangle are given, the three angles of the polar triangle can be found at once, so that Case I for the given triangle is Case II for the polar triangle. The six cases can be solved by the application of the half-angle and half-side formulas, Napiers analogies, law of cosines for sides and angles and the law of sines.
