Given the triangle, we can find the required angle using the sine rule of triangles. This can be seen below.

Step-by-step explanation

The sine rule is given as


\frac{Sin\text{ A}}{a}=\frac{\text{SinB}}{b}

We can then substitute the given parameters inside the formula.


\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{SinA}}{15}=(Sin28)/(8) \\ \text{SinA}=(15* Sin28)/(8) \\ \text{SinA}=0.8803 \\ A=Sin^(-1)(0.8803) \\ A\approx62^0 \end{gathered}

Answer:


A\approx62^0
