The tangent half angle formula, one of several, is

\tan \dfrac a 2 = \dfrac{1 - \cos a}{\sin a}

We have θ is opposite 4 in the 3/4/5 right triangle so

\cos \theta = \dfrac{3}{5}

\sin \theta = \dfrac{4}{5}

\tan \dfrac{\theta}{2} = \dfrac{1 - 3/5}{4/5} = \dfrac{5-3}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Answer: 1/2

This is actually pretty deep.  It says half the big acute angle in the 3/4/5 triangle is the small diagonal angle of the 1x2 rectangle.   Similarly, the small acute angle in 3/4/5 triangle is twice the small diagonal angle of the 1x3 rectangle.
