In $\triangle A B C$, it is known that $\overline { A B } = 4$ and $\overline { A C } = 6$, which is insufficient to determine the shape and size of $\triangle A B C$. However, knowing certain additional conditions (for example, knowing the length of $\overline { B C }$) would uniquely determine the shape and size of $\triangle A B C$. Select the correct options.
(1) If we additionally know the value of $\cos A$, then $\triangle A B C$ can be uniquely determined
(2) If we additionally know the value of $\cos B$, then $\triangle A B C$ can be uniquely determined
(3) If we additionally know the value of $\cos C$, then $\triangle A B C$ can be uniquely determined
(4) If we additionally know the area of $\triangle A B C$, then $\triangle A B C$ can be uniquely determined
(5) If we additionally know the circumradius of $\triangle A B C$, then $\triangle A B C$ can be uniquely determined
