let x be the unknown angle, so the trigonometric ratio that has both the opposite and adjacent in its formula is:

tan x = (opposite/adjacent) 

so: tan (x) = (1.8 m / 2.0 m)

x = tan-1(1.8m / 2.0m) should give you the answer,

P.S make sure your calculator is set to degrees of radian depending on which measure they want the answer in.
