If you draw out the two components in a head-to-nose fashion, you will create a right angle triangle something like the picture, that is if I interpreted the information right (the way I interpreted it is 15m east and 8m north); The dotted line represents the x-axis; Θ represents the desired angle; Using trigonometry, we can create and solve an equation to get the angle (Θ); In this case, you can use use sin or cos, I'll go with sin: SinΘ = opp/hyp SinΘ = 8/15 Θ = Sin⁻¹(8/15) = 32.23.... ⇒ 32.2°
