You have a right triangle and know the length of the hypotenuse and opposite leg (opposite to angle theta)

Then, you use the trigonometric function of sine of the angle as follow:


\begin{gathered} \sin i\theta=(oppoite)/(hypotenuse) \\ \\ \sin \theta=(8in)/(16in) \\ \\ \theta=\sin ^(-1)((8)/(16)) \\ \\ \theta=30 \end{gathered}
