Explanation:

the law of sine is

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

a, b, c are the sides. A, B, C are the corresponding opposing angles.

you fill in what you know and then solve for what you don't know. these are just regular equations. you multiply or divide or add or subtract the same things on both sides and try to get the missing side isolated on one side of an equation.
