Answer:


B.\text{m<p><strong>Step-by-step explanation:</strong></p><p>To solve the triangle use the sine law, which is represented by the following equation:</p>[tex]\begin{gathered} (a)/(sinA)=(c)/(sinC) \\ \end{gathered}

Therefore, for the given triangle:


\begin{gathered} (37)/(sin(105))=(18)/(sin(C)) \\ sin(C)=(18*sin(105))/(37) \\ C=\sin^(-1)((18*sin(105))/(37)) \\ C=28° \end{gathered}

For angle B, remember that all the intern angles of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees, then;


\begin{gathered} B=180-105-28 \\ B=47° \end{gathered}

Now, for side b:


\begin{gathered} (b)/(sin47)=(37)/(sin105) \\ b=(37*sin47)/(sin105) \\ b=28 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is B.
