Land surveying makes an extensive use of the sine and cosine law. The idea is to subdivide the land into many triangles and to measure one side and two angels of each triangle. With the sine law the other two sides can be computed. The Mount Everest was found by this method to be the highest mountain on planet earth.

Can ASA work with the law of sines?

Yes. If you have two angles, by implication, you have all three. You therefore have a pair of opposite angle and side so that the law of sines can be applied.

What problem types can always be solved by using the law of cosines or sines?

The law of cosines and sines can always be used to solve problems involving triangles, specifically when dealing with non-right triangles. The law of cosines is applicable for finding a side or angle when you know either two sides and the included angle or all three sides. The law of sines can be used when you have two angles and one side (AAS or ASA) or two sides and a non-included angle (SSA). Both laws are essential in solving triangle problems in various applications, including navigation and physics.
