let a=BC
b = AC
c = AB
find the length of each of the sides a, b, and c
the use the cosine law.
b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac cos B
solve for angle B
I will do one of the lengths,
a= √((2-4)^2 + 9-3)^2 ) = √(4+36) = √40
given the points A(0,0) ,B(4,3),C(2,9) what is the measure of < ABC?

so would
b=the square root of 85 ?
b=the square root of 85 ?
