The angle for shooting laser gun should be 89.98°.

The vertical height where a tiny but horrible alien is standing is given as 443443443 meters. The horizontal distance of a men in black agent from building is given in the question as 181818 meters. So, let us assume the angle formed to be theta (θ).

Writing the formula for tan theta, that relates the given height and distance

Now, tan θ = vertical height ÷ horizontal distance

Keep the values in above mentioned equation of theta to find the angle.

tan θ = $\frac{443443443}{181818}$
