so just find the "adjacent" side, using the pythagorean theorem, and even though the square root can give you +/-, use the positive one, assuming the angle is in the 1st quadrant

keeping in mind, that the 2nd quadrant is feasible as well, since the opposite side of +2 can also be in the 2nd quadrant

but anyhow, use the I quadrant
