using Pythagoras Theorem:

a² + b² = c²

=========================

AC² + CB² = AB²

14² + CB² = 33.11²

a² + 14² = 33.11²

Apply Pythagorean theorem

  • Option A is correct

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail B^2=33.11^2-14^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail B^2=1096.3-196[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail B^2=1000[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail B=31.62[/tex]
