_angle = 5 '''atan2''' 3 ..........Result is 59.0362

'''Notes:'''<br>
'''atan2''' is safer than the alternative [[atan]].
 
This is because '''atan2''' will correctly return the angle when the tangent is infinite:<br>
1 '''atan2''' 0<br>
will correctly return the answer 90.<br>
[[atan]] 1/0 will return a Divide by Zero Error
