Answer:


m \angle B \approx 64.62 \textdegree

Explanation:

First find, the length of side AC using the Pythagorean Theorem.


3^2 + AC^2 = 7^2


9 + AC^2 = 49


AC^2 = 40


AC = √(40)


AC = 2√(10)

Then, use the trigonometric ratio tangent to solve for m∠B.


\tan(m\angle B) = (2√(10))/(3)


m\angle B = \tan^(-1)\left((2√(10))/(3)\right)


m \angle B \approx 64.62 \textdegree
