Answer:

D. 63 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Trigonometric ratio ‘Tan’ to get angle B (because you have all 3 lengths, you can use any ratio. I used tan because it didn’t make use of the decimal number).

TanB = opposite/adjacent
TanB = 4/2
TanB = 2
B = Tan^-1(2)
B = 63.43°

Your answer is D.

Please feel free to comment if you do not understand the use of ‘Tan^-1’
