In the triangle $\mathrm{ABC}$, if $\mathrm{a}=7, \mathrm{~b}=6$ and $\mathrm{A}=120^{\circ}$, then the approximate value of $B$ is
  1. $47.9^{\circ}$
  2. $44.9^{\circ}$
  3. $59.9^{\circ}$
  4. $61.9^{\circ}$

Solution

Given $\mathrm{a}=7, \mathrm{~b}=\mathrm{b}$ and $\mathrm{A}=120^{\circ}$. $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{\sin A}{a}=\frac{\sin B}{b} \\ & \frac{\sin 120^{\circ}}{7}=\frac{\sin B}{6} \\ & \frac{\sin \left(90+30^{\circ}\right)}{7} \times 6=\sin B \\ & \sin B=\frac{6}{7} \times \cos 30^{\circ}=\frac{6}{7} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{7}=\frac{5.196}{7}=0 \end{aligned} $ Required value is greater sthan to $\sin 45^{\circ}$ but less then to $\sin 60^{\circ}$
