Best Answer

You can use trigonometry.

If you know the values of the opposite side and the hypotenuse: Angle = sin^-1(opposite/hypotenuse).

If you know the values of the adjacent side and the hypotenuse: Angle = cos^-1(adjacent/hypotenuse).

If you know the values of the opposite side and the adjacent side: Angle = tan^-1(opposite/adjacent).
