This is for law of sines

It says solve each triangle so what parts am I solving? Do I solve all parts or if there’s 2 angles and 1 side, I look for the other angle?

Explanation:

Solving a triangle means finding all unknown sides and angles.

For example, in #9, the third angle is 180° − 81° − 59° = 40°.

Using law of sines, the other two sides are:

a / sin 59° = 15 / sin 40°

a = 20.0

b / sin 81° = 15 / sin 40°

b = 23.0
