This video tutorial explains how to find missing side lengths in non-right triangles using the law of sines. It reviews triangle properties, introduces oblique triangles, and details the law of sines formula. Two cases are explored: solving triangles with two sides and one non-included angle, and solving triangles with two angles and one side. The tutorial provides step-by-step examples and calculations to demonstrate the application of the law of sines.
