$A = 67$ , $a = 11$ , $b = 24$

Step 1

The law of sines is based on the proportionality of sides and angles in triangles. The law states that for the angles of a non-right triangle, each angle of the triangle has the same ratio of angle measure to sine value.

$\frac{\sin (A)}{a} = \frac{\sin (B)}{b} = \frac{\sin (C)}{c}$

Step 2

Substitute the known values into the law of sines to find $B$ .
