This question requires use of the 'Sine Rule':

$\frac{a}{sin A} = \frac{b}{sin B}$ $a/(sin A) = b/(sin B)$

Rearranging:

$sin B = \frac{b sin A}{a} = \frac{12.8 \times sin 58}{4.5} = 2.41$ $sin B = (b sin A)/a = (12.8xxsin58)/4.5 = 2.41$

Taking the inverse sin, angle $B =$ $B=$ Error

There is no angle whose sin is > 1. There may be an error in the question.
