Answer:

b = 2

Explanation:

because of the 60° in the corner we know this triangle is the left half of an equilateral triangle (where all 3 sides are equally long, and all 3 angles are 60°).

therefore, b is half of the baseline of that equilateral triangle = 4/2 = 2.

so, b = 2 is the correct answer.
