Question 613777: In triangle ABC if angle A = 47.1, side b = 59.6, and side a = 52.2, find angle B.
I've tried several methods such as sin cos tan (before realizing nowhere was it stated that the triangle was a right triangle), proportions, etc but I cannot figure this out. I cannot find anything useful in my textbook either.

Law of Sines : the side lengths in a triangle are in the same proportions as the sines of the opposite angles

sin(A) / sin(B) = 52.2 / 59.6
