Problem

A triangle $ABC$ is to be constructed given a side $a$ (opposite angle $A$). angle $B$, and $h_c$, the altitude from $C$. If $N$ is the number of non-congruent solutions, then $N$

$\textbf{(A)}\ \text{is} \; 1\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \text{is} \; 2\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \text{must be zero}\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \text{must be infinite}\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \text{must be zero or infinite}$

Solution
