Answer: 18.7346314730578

This value is approximate.

=================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the law of sines to find side b

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

sin(112)/37 = sin(28)/b

b*sin(112) = 37*sin(28)

b = 37*sin(28)/sin(112)

b = 18.7346314730578

Round that value however you need to.

The portion on your screenshot says "round to the nearest", but it doesn't say to the nearest what. Is it nearest tenth? Hundredth? Something else? That part is cut off. So I'll just write down all of the decimal digits my calculator is showing, and let you do the final rounding step.
