Can someone help me solve this question

Let ABC be a triangle in a Euclidean plane. Suppose that |AB| = 3,
|AC| = 2, AngleB = 30. What are the two possible values of AngleA? In each of
the two cases, determine also AngleC. (Give the answers in degrees, correct to
the nearest integer.)

Draw a sketch first.

draw line AB and locate the points A and B (|AB| = 3).

Now draw a line l - starting from point B, at an angle 30° to AB.

Now if you draw a circle - with center at A and radius = 2 -- this circle will intersect the line l at two points (C' & C").

These are the two possible locations for point C.

What laws do you know about triangles that you can apply here?
