Answer:
17°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using trigonometrical ratios we have a triangle with opposite of A° as 7cm and adjacent A° as 24cm as drawn in the above diagram.
Using trigonometry the value to be used is Tangent due to the availability of only the opposite and adjacent sides.
tan = opp/adj
tan x(x is the angle) = 7/24
tan x = 0.2917 ~= 0.3
tan x = 0.3
x = tan^-1 0.3
x = 16.7 ~= 17°.
