We are given:

A right angled triangle with Perpendicular = 16 and base = 11

∠A = θ

Finding θ:

Using basic trigonometry, we know that Tanθ = Opposite / Adjacent

replacing the values for the angle θ

Tanθ = 11 / 16

[since 11 is the opposite side and 16 is the adjacent side to the angle]

θ = ArcTan(11/16)

θ = 34.5° OR 0.6 radians
