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

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

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