Give a short answer:
1. If you want to use the sine law to solve x, which sides and/or angles would you need? Explain. I would need side c plus another one with the corresponding angle because for the sine law I need the side that corresponds to the wanted angle and another angle and side set. Here I could do: sin(x)/c=sin(α)/a or sin(x)/c=sin(β)/b. Another possibility is to have a, angle a and b, then I could find out angle b and subtract both known angles from 180°.
2. Explain how you would solve the triangle. I would use the cosine law to find out c. Then I could use the sine law to find out either A or B. The left over angle I could find out by subtracting the ones I
