$b = 15.1 (1 d p)$ $b=15.1(1dp)$

this is an exercise in rearranging and using a calculator

$\frac{b}{sin 45} = \frac{21}{sin 100}$ $b/(sin45)=21/sin100$

multiply both sides by $sin 45$ $sin45$

$b/cancel((sin45)) xxcancel(sin45)=21/sin100xxsin45$

$=>b=(21sin45)/sin100$

using a calculator we find

$b=15.0783159=15.1(1dp)$
