Step-by-step explanation:

When Sean draws rays at the specified angles from the ends of the given side, they will cross (intersect) at a point that determines the length of the other two sides.

That is why the two angles and the side between them (ASA) are sufficient to specify a triangle, ensuring congruence or similarity, as the case may be.
