Explanation:

So for this problem, we need the missing angle A. From there, we can use the law of sines to compute length of b.

So the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180. With that in mind, we can make an equation to fine the measure of angle A.

53 + 80 + A = 180

133 + A = 180

A = 47

Now that we have the angle of A, we can use the law of sines to fine the length of b.

b / sin(B) = a / sin(A)

b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)

b = sin(80) * 2 / sin(47)

b = 2.693

Now round that to the nearest tenth to get

b = 2.7

Cheers.
