You can use the inverse tangent function on pretty much any calculator to find out.
Tan A = 1/2
Tan^-1(1/2) = 26.56505118
Round to 27
Also, if your calculator gives you .463647609 as an answer, it is in radians. Hit the mode button and put it in degrees and you will get the right answer.

On the calculator:
tan^-1(1/2) = 26.56505118 degrees
So, to the nearest degree, 27 degrees.
P.S. It is not 45 degrees. tan(45) = 1

its not 45 degrees, that would have a tan of 1. You can use a calculator to find the inverse tangent of .5 (tan^-1). You get 26.5 degrees or .4636 rad
