1. **State the problem:** We are given a triangle with side $a=27$, angle $A=102^\circ$, angle $B=28^\circ$, and side $b$ opposite angle $B$. We need to find $b$ using the Law of Sines and round to the nearest tenth.
2. **Recall the Law of Sines formula:**
$$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B}$$
This means the ratio of a side length to the sine of its opposite angle is the same for all sides of a triangle.
3. **Rearrange the formula to solve for $b$:**
$$b = a \times \frac{\sin B}{\sin A}$$
4. **Calculate the sines of the angles:**
$$\sin 102^\circ \approx 0.9781$$
$$\sin 28^\circ \approx 0.4695$$
5. **Substitute the known values:**
$$b = 27 \times \frac{0.4695}{0.9781}$$
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{0.4695}{0.9781} \approx 0.4799$$
7. **Calculate $b$:**
$$b = 27 \times 0.4799 = 12.9573$$
8. **Round to the nearest tenth:**
$$b \approx 13.0$$
**Final answer:**
$$b = 13.0$$
