Answer: First option.

Explanation:

You can use the inverse tangent function to find the value of the angle T:


\alpha=arctan((opposite)/(adjacent))

You can identify in the figure that:


\alpha=T\\opposite=RG=8\\adjacent=TR=15

Then, knowing these values, you can substitute them into
\alpha=arctan((opposite)/(adjacent)).

Therefore, you get that the value of the angle T rounded to the nearest degree is:


T=arctan((8)/(15))\\\\T=28\°

This matches with the first option.
