Programming Challenge: a classic trigonometry problem

This appears to be a well known problem for some of you.
Nevertheless I had some fun finding a solution when I stumbled upon it some time ago.

My suggestions are:
  • use your favorite calculator
  • strive to write the shortest program to find the solution
  • don't use the internet (Google, Wikipedia, WolframAlpha, ...)
  • don't use a solver or CAS

I'm looking forward to your solutions.

Cheers
Thomas
