#color(blue)(hat B = 60^@, b = 2sqrt3, hat C = 90^@#

#a = 2, c = 4, hat C = 30^@#

Applying law of sines,

#hat C = sin ^-1 ((sin 30 * 4) / 2) = sin^-1 1 = 90^@#

It’s a right triangle with angles measuring #30, 60, 90#

Hence sides will be in the ratio #x : sqrt3 x : 2x#

Hence #hat B = 60^@, b = 2sqrt3, hat C = 90^@#
