Identify the given information from the problem, such as the sides or angles related to angle B. Since the image is not provided, assume you have either side lengths or trigonometric ratios involving angle B.
Recall the primary trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine, and tangent, which relate the angles of a right triangle to the ratios of its sides. For example, \( \sin B = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \), \( \cos B = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \), and \( \tan B = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \).
Choose the appropriate trigonometric ratio based on the sides or values given in the problem that involve angle B. Write the equation for that ratio using the known values.
To find angle B, use the inverse trigonometric function corresponding to the ratio you set up. For example, if you used sine, then \( B = \sin^{-1}(\text{value}) \); if cosine, then \( B = \cos^{-1}(\text{value}) \); if tangent, then \( B = \tan^{-1}(\text{value}) \).
Since the problem states not to use a calculator, use known special angle values or trigonometric identities to determine angle B from the ratio. For example, recognize common ratios like \( \frac{1}{2} \), \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \), or 1, which correspond to angles like 30°, 45°, or 60°.
