The given triangle is a right angle triangle. Taking angle a as the reference angle,

hypotenuse = 8100

adjacent side = 6750

We would find angle a by applying the cosine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Cos# = adjacent side/hypotenuse

Thus,

Cos a = 6750/8100 = 0.833

We would find a by finding the inverse of cos 0.833

Thus,

a = cos^-1(0.833)

a = 33.59
