Beckett Oconnor · Answer 1

The Sine Law has the following equations

sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c

From these equations, in order to use the ratios, you must know at least one angle and two sides, or at least one side and 2 angles. It doesn't matter if it's included or not, as long as you are given the angles. Because you could related the three equations with each other.

The answer is 1, 3 and 5.
