Angle R can be solved using the inverse sine button on a calculator. Sine is y/r so opposite leg over the hypotenuse. For r, the opposite leg is 5cm and the hypotenuse is 13. The inverse sin button looks like sin^-1. Punch that in the calculator (make sure in degree mode). Punch the inverse sin and then 5/13 and you should get 22.62°
