Using Pythagorean triplete


\\ \sf\longmapsto h^2=33^2+8^2


\\ \sf\longmapsto h^2=1089+64


\\ \sf\longmapsto h^2=1153


\\ \sf\longmapsto h=√(1153)


\\ \sf\longmapsto h=33.9


\\ \sf\longmapsto h\approx34

Now


\boxed{\sf sin\theta=(h)/(P)}


\\ \sf\longmapsto sin\theta=(34)/(8)


\\ \sf\longmapsto sin\theta=4.2


\\ \sf\longmapsto 2sin\theta=sin60


\\ \sf\longmapsto \theta=30°
