Default Formula for Angle of triangle from opposite and adjacent lengths

I know the lengths, and I know its a TAN function but I cant see how to
actually write the formulae to solve it

I'm using Excel 2003, and I've converted the opposite/adjacent into a tan by
using =tan(x/y) where x is the opposite and y is the adjacent, but how do I
get the number it produces into an angle without physically looking each one
up on a table?
