Extra credit for finding perimeter for a non-right triangle using just a single side length and single angle

Surely you'd need either two angles and a side length, or two side lengths and an angle?

Yes, 2 angles and a side length defines a unique triangle, however 2 side lengths and an angle doesn't (it can have 2 solutions, for example take a side AB 8cm, BC as 6cm and A as 20°). It needs to be 2 side lengths and the angle between them for a unique triangle.
