Answer:

49.03 degrees

Explanation:

c = 49,
\alpha = 41

We can solve for
\beta if we first find b.

Remember: SOH CAH TOA

Cosine = Adj/Hypotenuse

So, Cos (41) = b/49

49 x (Cos 41) = b

49 x .755 = b

b = 36.99

sin
\beta = Opp/Hyp = b/49 = 36.99/49 = .755

β = inverse sin (.755) = 49.03° (Inverse sin is designated by sin⁻¹ on your calculator)
