Answer:


B. \: \boxed{66.8}

Explanation:


to \: solve \: this \: little \: poblem : we \:apply \: the \: pythagrean \: rule \to \\ \boxed{SOH} \boxed{CAH} \boxed{TOA} \to \\ we \: are \: been \: given : \to \\ the \: \boxed{opp }\: of \: the \: required \: angle \: = 35. \\ the \: \boxed{adj }\: of \: the \: required \: angle \: = 15. \\ now \: lets \: apply \: \boxed{TOA}\to \: \tan( \theta) = (opp)/(adj) \to\\ \tan( \theta) = (opp)/(adj) = (35)/(15) = 2.3333333333 \\ \theta = \tan {}^( - 1) (2.3333333333) \\ \boxed{\theta = 66.80}
