Answer:

It would be 28 degrees.

Explanation:

To find the angle, we simply need to pick two sides. We'll use the opposite side (24) and the adjacent side (45). Using these two, we can find the answer with the Tan function.

Tanα = Opp/Adj

Tanα = 24/45

Tanα = .53333

Tan-1α = .53333

α = 28 degrees
