Answer: You would either need ∠C or side b.

Explanation:

To use the law of sines, you would have to have both the corresponding angle and side length (side b and angle B, for example). We already have ∠B and side c, so to use the law of sines, we would need the corresponding angle for side c (∠C), or the corresponding side for ∠B (side c).

You would either need side a and its angle, side b, or <C. Either of these corresponding dimensions would work in the Law of Sines.

I hope this helps, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at any time.
