That will depend on the time of day. The point in the sky at that RA and
declination will revolve all the way around any observer at that latitude
in roughly 24 hours.
The highest it will ever get in his sky will be when it transits due south of him.
At that moment, its azimuth will be 180° and its elevation will be 60° above
the southern horizon.
By tradition the direction of an object in the sky needs two coordinates to describe it because the normal description does not include the distance. The position (or direction) can be expressed as azimuth (angle round the horizon) and altitude (angle above the horizon). These depend on time an the position of the observer. Only positive altitude angles are seen in the sky. Astronomers prefer to use right ascension and declination. Declination is the latitude where the star passes overhead, and right ascension expresses how many hours the object crosses the meridian after a standard position called the First Point of Aries. The right ascension and declination are preferred because they don't depend on time or the observer's position on the Earth's surface.
The variation of the apparent azimuth and altitude of everything we see in the sky is the result of Earth's rotation.
That's referred to as the star's "declination".
Azimuth about 270 degrees. That's due West. Elevation (or altitude) about 5 degrees. That's just above the horizon. Venus is always fairly near the Sun in the sky. The Sun sets roughly in the West. Amongst other things, the actual azimuth would depend on time of year and different latitude, of course. I've used the convention for azimuth of North 0 or 360 degrees, West 270 degrees, South 180 degrees, East 90 degrees. There are other conventions.
It is called the celestial sphere and it has coordinates like latitude and longitude. The simplest coordinates are elevation and azimuth, and there is another popular tilted coordinated system with its polar axis parallel to the Earth's axis. In this system the coordinates are the declination and the hour-angle. A fixed star keeps the same declination all the time and its hour-angle advances by 360 degrees every 23hr 56 min as the Earth rotates on its axis.

The azimuth and altitude of Sagittarius depend where you are on Earth and the date and time. The altitude can be anything form 0-90, and the azimuth 0-180.
azimuth 100 degrees altitude 20 degrees
Azimuth = 315° (True) Altitude = 0
The azimuth of the North Celestial Pole is zero ... it's due North. The altitude of the North Celestial Pole is the same as your north latitude. In mid-town Manhattan, that's about 42.6 degrees.

The variation of the apparent azimuth and altitude of everything we see in the sky is the result of Earth's rotation.

The point on the horizon that is due west has an altitude of zero and an azimuth of 270 degrees.
An object seen halfway between the horizon and the zenith has an altitude of 45 degrees.An object seen due east of the observer has an azimuth of 90 degrees.
There are a number of ways to describe locations or positions. One of these is to describe the direction toward an object in degrees; this is the "azimuth". For objects in the sky, we must also know the angular elevation above the horizon, or "altitude angle". This is usually shortened to "altitude". By specifying the azimuth angle and altitude angle, we can describe precisely the direction of any object in the sky.
