Answer:

The answer is 68°

Explanation:

Recall that tan ∅° =
(Opposite)/(Adjacent) for a right triangle.

The value opposite to your angle is 5, and the value that is adjacent to it is 2.

In order to solve for the degree, you use tan^-1(
(5)/(2)) on your calculator.

This gives a value of 68.19459, rounded to just 68.
