Answer:

Yes, angles are 90, 22, and 68

Explanation:

We make an equation and solve for the corner angle right to the right angle:

sin(x)=3/8

Take the inverse: sin^-1(sin(x))=sin^-1(3/8)

x=22.02

So we'll say 22 is one of the angles.

This means the other angle is x where 90+22+x=180

When you solve for x you get x=68

So yes you can solve with the law of sines.
