b=32.37346
B = 107.479 degrees
A= 22.521 degrees
use an online triangle solver calculator.
google them there's several online
punch in 1 angle and 2 sides and out pops the other 2 angles and 1 side
It does all the work for you

Since this is a SSA condition, the Law of Sines is not to be trusted so I would use the Law of Cosines.
262 = 132 + c2 - 2(13)(c)cos(50°)
c2 - 16.7124c - 507 = 0
Using the quadratic formula c = 32.373 or c = -15.661
We can throw out the negative answer since negative lengths are not possible.
You can again apply the Law of Cosines to get either angle C or angle B. I'll apply it to calculate angle C:
32.3732 = 132 + 262 - 2(13)(26)cos(C)
203.04 = -676cos(C)
cos(C) = -0.300
m∠C = 107.48°
Therefore m∠B = 180 - 107.48° - 50° = 22.52°

If you visit this graph and click the Show link you will see that side a is too long to generate a 2nd triangle. In row 1 on the left click the Run icon to see the hinging of side a. desmos.com/calculator/jcuxu7qiwf11/25/24
