The correct Answer is:
To find the value of angle B in triangle ABC, given that \( a = 1 \), \( b = \sqrt{3} \), and \( \angle A = 30^\circ \), we can use the Law of Sines, which states: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] ### Step 1: Write down the known values. We know: - \( a = 1 \) - \( b = \sqrt{3} \) - \( \angle A = 30^\circ \) ### Step 2: Use the Law of Sines. According to the Law of Sines: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{1}{\sin 30^\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sin B} \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( \sin 30^\circ \). We know that: \[ \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( \sin 30^\circ \) into the equation. Now substitute \( \sin 30^\circ \) into the equation: \[ \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sin B} \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sin B} \] ### Step 5: Rearrange to find \( \sin B \). Now, rearranging gives: \[ \sin B = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 6: Determine the angle B. We know that: \[ \sin B = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] This corresponds to: \[ B = 60^\circ \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the value of angle B is: \[ \angle B = 60^\circ \] ---
