You would have to apply trigonometry.
.
Depending on your labeling, you can use one of the following:
sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse
cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan(x) = opposite/adjacent
.
where x is the unknown angle
.
since you are looking for the angle, you will have to use these relationships:
x = arcsin(opposite/hypotenuse)
x = arccos(adjacent/hypotenuse)
x = arctan(opposite/adjacent)
.
