\textit{Law of Sines} \\\\ \cfrac{a}{\sin(\measuredangle A)}=\cfrac{b}{\sin(\measuredangle B)}=\cfrac{c}{\sin(\measuredangle C)} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{b}{\sin(82^o)}=\cfrac{8}{\sin(55^o)}\implies b\sin(55^o)=8\sin(82^o) \\\\\\ b=\cfrac{8\sin(82^o)}{\sin(55^o)}\implies b\approx 9.7

Make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
