Answer:


33.69^(\circ)

Explanation:

In right triangles only:

The sine of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. (o/h)

The cosine of an angle is equal to its adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse. (a/h)

The tangent of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by its adjacent side. (o/a)

Therefore, we have the following equation:


\tan B = (6)/(9),\\B=\tan^(-1)((6)/(9))\approx \boxed{33.69^(\circ)}
