You are working with the Cosine of the angle.

Hypotenuse = 12.5

Base = 3

Theta = ?

Solution

Cos(theta) = base / hypotenuse         Substitute values

Cos(theta) = 3 / 12.5                            Divide  

Cos(theta) = 0.24                                  Tale the inverse cos

theta = cos-1(0.24)

theta = 76.11 degrees

Answer 2

Answer: Roughly 76.11 degrees
