Answer

$\boxed{30}$

Steps

Step 1 ：Given a right triangle with opposite side O = 8 and hypotenuse H = 16, we need to find the angle θ such that sin(θ) = O/H.

Step 2 ：Using the sine function, we have sin(θ) = 8/16 = 0.5. By checking a table of trigonometric values, we find that θ = $30^\circ$.

Step 3 ：$\boxed{30}$
