If A = 49 degrees, a = 32, and b = 28, find the measure of angle B. Round to the nearest tenth.

To find the angle B we can use the sin lay so we know that:


(\sin(B))/(b)=(\sin (A))/(a)

so for our triangle will be:


(\sin(B))/(28)=(\sin (49))/(32)

and we solve for B so:


\begin{gathered} \sin (B)=(28\sin (49))/(32) \\ B=\sin ^(-1)(0.66) \\ B=41.3 \end{gathered}
