Answer: 90°

Explanation:

Explanation: A diagonal of a rectangle cuts the rectangle into 2 right triangles with sides equal to the sides of the rectangle and with a hypotenuse that is the diagonal. All you need to do is use the pythagorean theorem: where a and b are the sides of the rectangle and c is the length of the diagonal.
