Answer:

Explanation:

Use the Law of Sines here:


(sin120)/(8) =(sinB)/(3) and cross multiply to get

8sinB = 3sin120 and solve for B:


sinB=(3sin120)/(8) and

sinB = .3247595264

Now hit the 2nd button and then sin to get


sin^(-1)(

on your display. After that open parenthesis, enter that decimal and hit enter to get that angle B = 18.95 which you can round to howeve many places you need.
