"useful for calculating one side or angle of any triangle, when five of the six angles and sides are known"

This doesn't seem quite complete...I think. If even one angle _and_ it's corresponding side are known, all one should need to calculate any other angle or side is the corresponding side or angle. --David Yamakuchi 16:21, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
