Answer:
The value of angle B is 33.69°
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find out using Tangent Rule, tanθ = oppo./adj. where opposite and adjacent are the length of triangle :
oppo. = AC = 6 units
adj. = BC = 9 units
θ = ∠B
tan ∠B = AC/BC
tan ∠B = 6/9
∠B = tan^(-1) (6/9)
= 33.69° (near. hundredth)
