What angle is the antenna?

It's a shame I can't figure out something I should have learned
in the 6th grade; but I don't know how to set the problem up.

Thanks,

Easy answer. Do a web search for Trigonometry angle solver and you'll
discover that quite a few people have written little web sites where you
can enter in side-side-side lengths or side-angle-side and the remaining
angles and side lengths will be caluclated automatically.

I've used them. Don't feel bad, most of us have long forgotten
trigonometry.
