Answer:

30.34 degree

Explanation:

Apply sine formula


(sin\left(A\right))/(a)=(sin\left(B\right))/(b)


(\sin \left(45^(\circ \:)\right))/(7)=(\sin \left(b\right))/(5)

->simplify


(\sin \left(b\right))/(5)=((√(2))/(2))/(7)

you will get


\sin \left(b\right)=(5√(2))/(14)

which
sin b is about 0.50507


sin^(-1)\left(0.50507\right)

->arc sine in degree mode

the answer is 30.34
