Verified Answer :

35.5° and 54.5°

solve though tangent 

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

∠\(A+\)∠\(B=90\) ------> by complementary angles

so

Step \(1\)

Find the measure of angle B

we know that

\(tan\ B=\frac{opposite\ side\ angle\ B}{adjacent\ side\ angle\ B}\)

in this problem

\(opposite\ side\ angle\ B=7in\\ adjacent\ side\ angle\ B=5in\)

so

\(tan\ B=\frac{7}{5} \\ \\ B=arc\ tan\frac{7}{5} \\ \\ B=54.5\ degrees\)

Step \(2\)

Find the measure of angle A

\(A+B=90\\ A=90-B\\ A=90-54.5\\ A=35.5\ degrees\)

therefore

the answer is the option

35.5° and 54.5°
