anonymous · Answer

u already gave us what B is?

anonymous · Answer

may b use the Pythagorean theorem! 12^2 + 16 ^2 = B^2
then 400 = B^2
20 = B

anonymous · Answer

Hmm... My options are:
a. 52 degrees
b. 37 degrees
c. 49 degrees
d. 41 degrees

anonymous · Answer

oh! you want the angle measurement! i thought you needed the side! ok! 1 sec!

anonymous · Answer

use the tangent function...tanB = 16/12 
then B = inverse tan(1.33) = 53... A seems like the closest one!
