Use the law of sines to find the missing measurements when given two acute angles

The video tutorial explains how to solve for missing sides and angles in an oblique triangle using the Law of Sines. It begins by discussing the limitations of using the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometric identities in non-right triangles. The instructor then introduces the Law of Sines, explaining its application through proportions of side lengths and their corresponding angles. The tutorial includes step-by-step examples of solving for unknown sides using cross multiplication, emphasizing the importance of checking calculations for accuracy.

Explain why the Pythagorean theorem cannot be applied to the triangle discussed.
