Answer:

36.87°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABC is a right-angle triangle, we can use trigonometric ratios to solve for unknown angles and sides.

For Angle at A, we have lengths of opposite and adjacent sides so we can use tangent at A.

tan(A) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = CB/AB

tan(A) = 6/8

A = (tan^-1)(0.75)

A = 36.86989765°
