Answer

$38.491580^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

Use the identity $\tan\theta=\frac{1}{\cot\theta}$. If $\cot\theta=1.2575516$, then $\tan\theta=\frac{1}{1.2575516}$ We can find $\theta$ now by using degree mode and the inverse tangent function. $\theta=\tan^{-1} (\frac{1}{1.2575516})\approx 38.491580^{\circ}$
