1. **State the problem:** We are given a triangle with angle $C = 63^\circ$, side opposite $B$ is $5.5$, side opposite $A$ is $4.7$, and we want to find the measure of angle $B$ using the Law of Sines.
2. **Recall the Law of Sines:**
$$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}$$
where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are sides opposite angles $A$, $B$, and $C$ respectively.
3. **Assign known values:**
- Side opposite $B$ is $b = 5.5$
- Side opposite $A$ is $a = 4.7$
- Angle $C = 63^\circ$
4. **Find angle $A$ first using Law of Sines:**
$$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{c}{\sin C}$$
But we do not know $c$ or angle $A$ yet, so instead use the ratio between sides $a$ and $b$ and their opposite angles $A$ and $B$:
$$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B}$$
We want to find $B$, so we need to find $A$ or use angle sum later.
5. **Use Law of Sines with side $a$ and angle $C$ to find side $c$:**
$$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{c}{\sin C}$$
But $A$ is unknown, so instead use the fact that angles sum to $180^\circ$:
$$A + B + C = 180^\circ$$
6. **Express $A$ in terms of $B$:**
$$A = 180^\circ - B - 63^\circ = 117^\circ - B$$
7. **Apply Law of Sines between sides $a$ and $b$ and angles $A$ and $B$:**
$$\frac{4.7}{\sin(117^\circ - B)} = \frac{5.5}{\sin B}$$
8. **Cross multiply:**
$$4.7 \sin B = 5.5 \sin(117^\circ - B)$$
9. **Use sine difference identity:**
$$\sin(117^\circ - B) = \sin 117^\circ \cos B - \cos 117^\circ \sin B$$
10. **Substitute:**
$$4.7 \sin B = 5.5 (\sin 117^\circ \cos B - \cos 117^\circ \sin B)$$
11. **Distribute:**
$$4.7 \sin B = 5.5 \sin 117^\circ \cos B - 5.5 \cos 117^\circ \sin B$$
12. **Group terms with $\sin B$ on one side:**
$$4.7 \sin B + 5.5 \cos 117^\circ \sin B = 5.5 \sin 117^\circ \cos B$$
13. **Factor $\sin B$:**
$$\sin B (4.7 + 5.5 \cos 117^\circ) = 5.5 \sin 117^\circ \cos B$$
14. **Divide both sides by $\cos B$ and the factor:**
$$\frac{\sin B}{\cos B} = \frac{5.5 \sin 117^\circ}{4.7 + 5.5 \cos 117^\circ}$$
15. **Recall $\tan B = \frac{\sin B}{\cos B}$, so:**
$$\tan B = \frac{5.5 \sin 117^\circ}{4.7 + 5.5 \cos 117^\circ}$$
16. **Calculate values:**
$$\sin 117^\circ \approx 0.8910, \quad \cos 117^\circ \approx -0.45399$$
17. **Substitute:**
$$\tan B = \frac{5.5 \times 0.8910}{4.7 + 5.5 \times (-0.45399)} = \frac{4.9005}{4.7 - 2.4969} = \frac{4.9005}{2.2031} \approx 2.224$$
18. **Find angle $B$:**
$$B = \arctan(2.224) \approx 65.7^\circ$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{B \approx 65.7^\circ}$$
