Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram:

• The side length opposite the indicated angle = 29

,

• The side length adjacent to the indicated angle = 17

Let the indicated angle = x

Applying trigonometric ratios:


\begin{gathered} \tan x=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}} \\ \tan x=(29)/(17) \\ x=\arctan \mleft((29)/(17)\mright) \\ x=59.6\degree \\ x\approx60\degree \end{gathered}

The indicated angle is 60 degrees correct to the nearest degree.
