system%28a=6%2Cb=2%29
c is hypotenuse of the right triangle.
c%5E2=6%5E2%2B2%5E2
c%5E2=40
c=sqrt%284%2A10%29
highlight%28c=2%2Asqrt%2810%29%29

You could choose Law Of Sines to find angle A.
sin%28A%29%2F6=sin%2890%29%2F%282%2Asqrt%2810%29%29

This problem is of the  " 2 x 2 = 4 "  level of complexity. 


To find "c", apply the Pythagorean theorem.



To find A,  calculate tan(A), then use your calculator with acrtan function.


Then angle B is  90-m(A)  degrees.
