Wanted to teach you my little trig for remembering trig ratios.

We have the adjacent and the opposite. We will be using Tangent.
(the biggest side is the bottom, so that is the hypotenuse)

tan(41)= x/32

Multiply 32 to the other side.

32(tan 41)= 27.81717561 or round it to 28.

I hope this helps!

so we use tan because we have the opposite side and adjacent side.

so its
tan(41)= x/32

solve for x and get 27.82 degrees

hope that helps
