For this case we will define the following:
A, B: are the values of the triangle angles
a, b: are the values of the lengths of the sides opposite the angles A, B.
We then have to use the law of the sine:

(sinB)/(b) = (sinA)/(a)
Clearing the angle B we have:

sinB = (sinA)/(a)*b

B = arcsin((sinA)/(a)*b)
Substituting values we have:

B = arcsin((sin113)/(200)*134)

B = 38.08
Answer:
the following is true:
A. angle B=38.08 degrees
