Solve for sin(B) and then use either scientific calculator or trig table.


NOT "b". That was the given segment length of one side of the triangle. You want "
the angle measure at point "B".

Use the given information to solve the triangle for sin(25)/18 = sin(b)/28 
sin+%2825%29%2F18+=+sin+%28B%29%2F28 

18+%2A+sin+%28B%29+=+28+%2A+sin+%2825%29 ------- Cross-multiplying



Use arcsin, or sin - 1 to find ∠B.
