The document provides examples of using the sine rule to solve triangles by finding unknown sides or angles. It gives 8 examples of finding unknown sides when two angles and one side are known, 4 examples of finding sides when two angles and the non-included side are known, and 5 examples of finding unknown angles when two sides and a non-included angle are given. For each example, it clearly shows the triangle with labeled angles and sides, states the known values, sets up the appropriate sine rule equation, calculates the unknown value, and provides the solution.
