further mechanics 1 edexcel alevel help :D

hello, i hope everyone is doing well! i need help on part 3 ii to this question. i have worked out the angle of the velocity of b after the collision but im not sure as in what to do next? i thought the angle they were asking for is the angle between the initial and final velocity of b but that wasn’t right.

I think you've misinterpreted the angle they want.

90 - 53.1 = 36.9

then 36.9 - 21.8
