it depends on what calculator you have either type in .8 and then press the tan^-1 function or the other way around and round to 4 decimal places (or 2)

Your calculator should have a button (or shift button) marked atan or tan^(-1). Both of these mean for inverse tangent, or arctangent.
tanA = 0.8
A = atan(0.8)
