In the right triangle, if you are looking for ∠C, CB is the adjacent side while AC is the hypotenuse.

If you know the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, use the cosine.

cos = adj/hyp     ===>     cos(C)  =  22/60     ===>  cos(C)  =  0.366667

To find the size of the angle, use invcos:   C  =  invcos(0.366667)  =  68.5°
