OpenStudy (dumbcow):

use law of sines \[\frac{\sin B}{22} =\frac{ \sin 45}{16.5}\] \[B = \sin^{-1} (\frac{11 \sqrt{2}}{16.5})\] This gives 2 solutions, B and B'

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

also B and B' must add to 180 degrees

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Answer B. then b=70.05 and b'=109.95 right?

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

70.05 to 109.95 = 180

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

correct

Thank you for your time and help!
