For this case you can model the problem as a rectangle triangle where you have the length of the opposite leg and the adjacent leg.

Therefore, the angle sought is given by:

theta = Atan (8/15)

theta = 28.07 degrees

Answer:

The angle between its diagonal and a longer edge is:

theta = 28.07 degrees
