Im currently testing out of geometry and am using a website called Khan Academy to study. I was given the triangle shown in the picture telling me to solve for B, and i solved it with the help of another website which had me plug in the values i knew and then had me cross multiply, making the equation = 11(sin73) = 12(sinB). I then isolated B so it was by itself, making the problem B= arcsin 11/12 sin(73). The khan academy site told me the answer was 61, however i wanted to figure out how to put it into the calculator and get the answer myself so i knew how to do it on the exam. However, no matter how i typed it in it came to a long negative decimal. How should i put it into a calculator so that it gets the right answer? Or did i make a mistake while solving?
Thanks,
Diane
