To 'solve' a triangle means to find all the missing values for the sides and angles. In this case, the lengths of $2$ sides and the size of $1$ angle are given, we have to find the size of the $3 rd$ side and the other $2$ angles.

$color(green)(hat C = 70, hat B = 60, b = 24.87$

Explanation:

$sin C = (c sin A) / a = (27 sin 50) / 22 = 0.9401$

$hat C = sin ^-1 0.9401 = 70^@$

$hat B = 180 - 50 - 70 = 60^@$

$b = (a * sin B) / sin A = (22 * sin 60) / sin 50 = 24.87$
