In a circle, if a triangle is inscribed such that one of its sides is a diameter of the circle, then the angle opposite to that side (the inscribed angle) is a right angle (90°) according to the inscribed angle theorem.

In this case, since AB is the diameter of the circle, angle C (opposite to AB) must be 90°.

Thus, the approximate angle measure of B would also be determined using the sides of triangle ABC. However, without the specific lengths of the remaining sides or additional angles, we can conclude that angle B cannot be determined directly from the information provided but can confirm that angle C is 90°.

To determine angle B, we typically need the sine rule or cosine rule, unless further information about the triangle is provided. However, since the question specifically asks about angle B and does not provide enough information to calculate it directly, we may rely upon the fact that angle C is indeed 90°.

Given the provided options, angle B cannot be calculated without additional relationships or measurements.

If you meant to clarify if angle B has options to be selected, 90° should be an option since it relates to angle C in this circle inscribed triangle.
