—> and since : ,
But since we're in Q3, we need to add to get it into standard form (where the angle is measured from the +x axis counterclockwise).
(iii) in standard form.

(i) or approx. -0.447214
(ii) or approx. -0.894427

NOTE: Just be aware: often you will want to normalize things so you have a unit circle (i.e. r=1). I did not use a unit circle (h=sqrt(5)). To do that I would have had to divide a,b, and h by sqrt(5). However, since the problem only dealt with ratios of the sides, the lack of normalization didn't matter.
