How many different triangles can you make if you are given the measurements of two angles and the length of the side that is not shared.

0,1,2,3, or as many as you want

There will only be 1 triangle formed from these measurements.

Explanation:
If we know two angles and a side that is not shared, we can use the law of sines to find the measures of the missing angles. This will give us only one value for each possible side. Additionally, there will only be one possibility for the missing angle, since all triangles have 180 degrees.
