What does it mean to 'solve' a triangle? Whats something you should always check after solving a triangle?

Find all missing angles and sides. You should check that they follow the triangle inequality rule.

Find all angles with a reference angle of 56 between  [0,2pi) 

 theta=56,124,236,304

Cana right triangle be solved if we are given measures of its 2 acute angles and no side lengths?

No. While we can determine the ratio of the sides, that only gives us all possible scalar versions. We cannot determine which of them is the correct one.
