Answer:

C. 15.04°

Explanation:

The best approach to this question is to use the Law of Sine:
(a)/(sin(a)) =(b)/(sin(b)) =(c)/(sin(c))

We are given ∠48°, 63 on the longest side and 22 on the adjacent side (opposite of ∠B). This means we just have to set up our equation (remember to set calc to deg!!):


(63)/(sin48) = (22)/(sinB)

We solve by cross multiplying:

63sin(B) = 22sin(48°)

sin(B) =
(22sin48)/(63)

B = sin^-1 (
(22sin48)/(63))

Plug the B equation into the calculator and your final answer should be 15.041°, which rounds to 15.04°.
