The roof of a house is longer on one side than on the other. If the length of one side of the roof is 29 feet, the length of the other side is 32 feet and the distance between the ends of the roof is 55.7. Find the largest angle. Round off the answer to one decimal place. Do not include the unit. Numerical value only.
