∠ B = 119° ✅

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,


\sf\purple{Sum\:of\:angles\:on\:a\:straight\:line} = 180°

➡ ∠ C + 112° = 180°

➡ ∠ C = 180° - 112°

➡ ∠ C = 68°

Also,


\sf\pink{Sum\:of\:angles\:of\:a\:triangle} = 180°

⇝ ∠ A + 51° + 68° = 180°

⇝ ∠ A + 119° = 180°

⇝ ∠ A = 180° - 119°

⇝ ∠ A = 61°

Again,


\sf\blue{Sum\:of\:angles\:on\:a\:straight\:line} = 180°

✒ ∠ A + ∠ B = 180°

✒ 61° + ∠ B = 180°

✒ ∠ B = 180° - 61°

✒ ∠ B = 119°

Hence, the measure of angle B is 119°.
