Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

Let's start with #12.  The hypotenuse is 18.  The side adjacent to ∠B is 6.  Since we have the adjacent side and hypotenuse, we should use cosine.

cos B = 6/18

Solving for B:

B = cos⁻¹(6/18)

Using a calculator:

B ≈ 70.5°

Now let's do #14.  The side adjacent to ∠B is 19, and the side opposite of ∠B is 22.  Since we have the adjacent side and opposite side, we should use tangent.

tan B = 22/19

Solving for B:

B = tan⁻¹(22/19)

Using a calculator:

B ≈ 49.2°
