The law of sines and examples
The law of sines is very useful for solving various tasks with not right triangles.
The law of sines works for any triangle. The only important thing is that side a faces angle A, side b faces angle B and side c faces angle C. It helps for correct using of formulas.
$$\frac{\text{a}}{\sin\text{A}}=\frac{\text{b}}{\sin\text{B}}=\frac{\text{c}}{\sin\text{C}}$$Solved examples
