Answer:

60.3°

Explanation:

You want the measure of angle B in right triangle ABC with leg BC = 8 and leg AC = 14.

Tangent

The tangent relation is ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Applying this to the given triangle, we have ...

tan(B) = 14/8

The arctangent function gives you the angle from the tangent.

B = arctan(14/8) ≈ 60.3°

The measure of angle B is about 60.3°.
