The function you're looking for is double atan(double tangent) which, given the tangent, will return the angle in radians.

From there, you can simply multiply it by 180 / PI to get degrees or, better yet, use the inbuilt double toDegrees(double radians).

In other words, something like (assuming you've bought in java.lang.Math):

double degs = toDegrees(atan(tangent));
