This is a right triangle, so we can use trig functions

We know that tan theta = opp side/ adj side

tan A = CB/ AC

tan A = 8/4

Taking the inverse tan of each side

tan ^-1 ( tan A) = tan ^-1 ( 2)

Using the inverse tan button on your calculator

tan ^ -1 (2)

A = 63.43494

Rounding to the nearest thousandth

A = 63.435
