The side side angle is ambiguous due to the fact that it can be used in any non right triangle. The side side angle comes in handy when trying to solve the whole triangle in order to see how many different triangles can be made. We cannot use law of sins with the given information because you need to first use Side Side Angle in order to find the height to see if you can even get a triangle out of it, or in some cases more than one triangle. If i were to try and explain this to other people using simple math terms I would use diagrams with first saying, that you will need to use the information given to first find the height to find it the side you are given is the right length to make a triangle.
