You have a right triangle. You are given the lengths of a vertical side and hypotenuse. Pick a trig function and calculate the angle between the horizontal and the hypotenuse. This is not rocket surgery.

P.S. Before you ask homework questions make sure your teacher is not monitoring this and other Q&A sites like this one to catch people trying to cheat on their homework.
