From the image, given that UZ is parallel to VW, UV is congruent to UZ. We can redraw the image to include some extra details.

The image is below;

With the image above, we can the find the angle W, using tangent function of trigonometry.

This is seen below;


\begin{gathered} \tan w=\frac{opposite}{\text{Adjacent}} \\ \text{opposite =30ft} \\ \text{Adjacent}=15ft \\ \therefore\tan w=(30)/(15) \\ \tan w=2 \\ w=\tan ^(-1)2 \\ w=63.4^0 \end{gathered}

The angle closest to m

Answer: 63.4
