Answer

Not sufficient information

Work Step by Step

$\frac{a}{\sin\angle A}=\frac{b}{\sin\angle B}=\frac{c}{\sin\angle C}$ Let $a,b,m\angle C$ be the known measures. In the equation $\frac{a}{\sin\angle A}=\frac{b}{\sin\angle B}$ out of 4 quantities, only 2 are known, so we cannot solve for $A$ or $B$. Similarly, the equations $\frac{b}{\sin\angle B}=\frac{c}{\sin\angle C}$ $\frac{a}{\sin\angle A}=\frac{c}{\sin\angle C}$ are impossible to be solved. In this case we need to apply the Law of Cosines.
