4. Given an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle of $20^{\circ}$ and a base length of $a$, the length of the legs is $b$. Then the value of $\frac{a^{3}+b^{3}}{a b^{2}}$ is $\qquad$ .
4.3.

Given that $a=2 b \sin 10^{\circ}$.
Therefore, $a^{3}+b^{3}=8 b^{3} \sin ^{3} 10^{\circ}+b^{3}$
$=8 b^{3} \cdot \frac{1}{4}\left(3 \sin 10^{\circ}-\sin 30^{\circ}\right)+b^{3}=6 b^{3} \sin 10^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{a^{3}+b^{3}}{a b^{2}}=\frac{6 b^{3} \sin 10^{\circ}}{2 b \sin 10^{\circ} \cdot b^{2}}=3$.
