66.4∘66.4^\circ

Step 1: Calculate the angle γ\gamma in the triangle 'c'.
In the right-angled triangle 'c', the side adjacent to angle γ\gamma is 6, and the hypotenuse is 15. We use the cosine function.

cos⁡(γ)=adjacenthypotenuse\cos(\gamma) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} cos⁡(γ)=615\cos(\gamma) = \frac{6}{15} cos⁡(γ)=0.4\cos(\gamma) = 0.4

To find γ\gamma, we take the inverse cosine:

γ=arccos⁡(0.4)\gamma = \arccos(0.4) γ≈66.4218∘\gamma \approx 66.4218^\circ

Rounding to the nearest 0.1 degree:

γ≈66.4∘\gamma \approx \boxed{66.4^\circ}
