66^@

Explanation:

Given that AC is tangent to the circle and B is the center of the circle,
=> angleCAB=90^@
Given angleACB=24^@,
=>angleABC=180-angleCAB-angleACB
=180-90-24=66^@

66^circ

Explanation:

Now we know that angleCAB=90^circ and angleACB=24^circ

Our goal is to find the third angle, so we use the property:

color(brown)("Sum of the three angles of a triangle is" color(brown)(180^circ

So,

rarrangleCAB+angleACB+angleABC=180^circ

rarr90^circ+24^circ+angleABC=180^circ

rarr114^circ+angleABC=180^circ

rarrangleABC=180^circ-114^circ

color(green)(rArrangleABC=66^circ

Hpe this helps..... :)
