The ratio of the base of an isosceles triangle to its altitude is 48.29:4. Find the measure of one of the congruent angles (in radians) of the triangle. Round off your answer to two decimal places.
-----
base = 48.29x
altitude = 4x

Sketch the picture to see the following::
tan(A) = 4/(24.145)
A = arctan(4/24.145)
A = 0.16417 radians
