Answer 2

38°

Explanation:

One side length is 34cm and the hypotenuse is 55cm. Used SOH-CAH-TOA to find what trig function to use. You have the opposite side and the hypotenuse, so use sine. SinC = 34/55. You can input this into a calculator as 34/55 and press sin^-1 to get the angle value, which is approximately 38°.
