Step 1

The Law of Sines produces an ambiguous angle result. This means that there are $2$ angles that will correctly solve the equation. For the first triangle, use the first possible angle value.

Solve for the first triangle.

Step 2

The law of sines is based on the proportionality of sides and angles in triangles. The law states that for the angles of a non-right triangle, each angle of the triangle has the same ratio of angle measure to sine value.
