cos θ = 20.8/33.6

 

Use the cosine inverse to find θ

 

arccos ( 20.8 / 33.6)   = θ   = about  51.75°

Since you are finding an angle you need to use inverse cos or arc cos.

 

On the web2 calc you do it like this

 

[2nd] [acos]  (20.8/33.6) =

 

Make sure it is set to degrees or radians as needed... :)
