This document discusses the ambiguous case of using the sine rule to calculate angles. It notes that when taking the inverse sine of a value, the calculator will only give the acute angle. Therefore, one must check the diagram to see if the unknown angle is the acute angle, obtuse angle, or could be either, as the inverse sine function does not distinguish between the two possibilities for some values.
