We are given a side-side-angle triangle, so we can use the Law of Sines to solve this.

 

sinBb = sinAa sinB42 = sin60°43 sinB = sin60°4342 sinB = sin60°4243 sinB = 324243 sinB = 22 B = arcsin(22)orB = 180°arcsin(22) B = 45°orB = 135° But135°+60°=195°>180° So B135°

 

 

B  =  45°     is the only solution.
