a) Infinite. With only the angles defined, and not the lengths of the sides there are an infinite number of triangles possible. Each one would have sides that are the same ratio, and fall into the category of "similar triangles".

b) One. A right triangle must adhere to the Pythagorean theorem. With two sides defined and equal, they must be the legs of the triangle and not the hypotenuse. If one were the hypotenuse and the other a leg, then the second leg would have to be zero to make Pythagorean work. That would not be a triangle, leaving only 1 possible solution.

c) One. When there are two defined lengths and the angle between them is known, there is only one solution.

d) Three. 1 obtuse triangle with the 45 degrees between 3 and the hypotenuse, 1 obtuse triangle with the 45 degrees between 4 and the hypotenuse, 1 acute triangle with the 4 as the hypotenuse and the 45 between it and the short leg. The combination where X is the hypotenuse and the 45 exist between the 3 and the hypotenuse cannot exist
