The Law of Sines states that in any triangle \( ABC \), the ratios of the lengths of the sides to the sines of their opposite angles are equal:

\[
\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
\]

where:
- \( a, b, c \) are the sides opposite to angles \( A, B, C \) respectively.

To solve a problem using the Law of Sines, we need at least one of the following sets of information:

1. Two angles and one side (AAS or ASA).
2. Two sides and an angle not between them (SSA).

### Steps for Solving with the Law of Sines:

1. **Identify Known Values:** Determine which sides and angles are known.
2. **Set Up the Equation:** Use the Law of Sines to set up a proportion using the known values.
3. **Solve for the Unknowns:** Solve for the unknown side or angle using the proportion.
4. **Check for Ambiguity:** If using SSA, check for the possibility of two triangles (the ambiguous case).
5. **Calculate Remaining Angles or Sides:** Use the triangle angle sum property or the Law of Sines again to find the remaining values.

If you provide the specific values of sides and angles, I can demonstrate the solution for you.
