Let's consider the situation presented by the problem. Let's assume that the measures of two angles are α and β and the length of the included side is l.

Since we already have the measures of two angles, the remaining angle will have to measure 180°- α - β. And since we have the length of their included side, every triangle that we could make would be congruent by the ASA criteria.

Therefore, we can only form one triangle.
