Step 1.1

Evaluate $\sin (29.2)$ .

$\sin (B) = \frac{53 \cdot 0.48785965}{27}$

Step 1.2

Multiply $53$ by $0.48785965$ .

$\sin (B) = \frac{25.85656193}{27}$

Step 1.3

Divide $25.85656193$ by $27$ .

$\sin (B) = 0.95765044$

Step 2

Take the inverse sine of both sides of the equation to extract $B$ from inside the sine.

$B = \arcsin (0.95765044)$

Step 3

Step 3.1

Evaluate $\arcsin (0.95765044)$ .

$B = 73.26572916$

Step 4

The sine function is positive in the first and second quadrants. To find the second solution, subtract the reference angle from $180$ to find the solution in the second quadrant.

$B = 180 - 73.26572916$

Step 5

Subtract $73.26572916$ from $180$ .

$B = 106.73427083$

Step 6

Find the period of $\sin (B)$ .

Step 6.1

The period of the function can be calculated using $\frac{360}{| b |}$ .

$\frac{360}{| b |}$

Step 6.2

Replace $b$ with $1$ in the formula for period.

$\frac{360}{| 1 |}$

Step 6.3

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $1$ is $1$ .

$\frac{360}{1}$

Step 6.4

Divide $360$ by $1$ .

$360$

Step 7

The period of the $\sin (B)$ function is $360$ so values will repeat every $360$ degrees in both directions.

$B = 73.26572916 + 360 n, 106.73427083 + 360 n$ , for any integer $n$
