Much like saying ratio of base to altitude is 6:8. The altitude cuts this isosceles triangle into two right-triangles, each with legs in the ratio of 3:8. The hypotenuse would then have corresponding value of h, related as

Each of the angles at the endpoints of the original isosceles triangle measure as degrees (about 69.4 degrees).

The angle at top from where the altitude is drawn will be degrees.
