When you reach the top of a mountain, a guide takes you ziplining back down it through a series of ziplines. The length of the first zipline is 1200 feet, and descent down was 500 feet. At what angle does the zipline meet with the ground where you land? (Enter your answer representing degrees, and round to the nearest tenth)
