Answer

$\theta = 30.0^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

$L= \sqrt{12}~\hbar$ $L_z = 3~\hbar$ We can find the value for $\theta$: $cos~\theta = \frac{L_z}{L}$ $cos~\theta = \frac{3~\hbar}{\sqrt{12}~\hbar}$ $cos~\theta = \frac{3}{\sqrt{12}}$ $\theta = cos^{-1}~(\frac{3}{\sqrt{12}})$ $\theta = 30.0^{\circ}$
