1. **State the problem:** We need to find the measure of angle $\angle B$ in a right triangle where side $AC=22$, side $BC=18$, and angle $C$ is $90^\circ$.
2. **Recall the trigonometric formula:** In a right triangle, the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. For angle $B$, the opposite side is $AC=22$ and the adjacent side is $BC=18$.
3. **Write the formula:**
$$\tan(\angle B) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{22}{18}$$
4. **Calculate the ratio:**
$$\frac{22}{18} = \frac{\cancel{22}}{\cancel{18}} = 1.2222...$$
5. **Find the angle using inverse tangent:**
$$\angle B = \tan^{-1}(1.2222...)$$
6. **Use a calculator to find the angle:**
$$\angle B \approx 50.2^\circ$$
7. **Round to the nearest tenth:** The measure of $\angle B$ is approximately $50.2^\circ$.
**Final answer:**
$$m\angle B \approx 50.2^\circ$$
