Dear student,
The resultant force would be given by:
The direction would be given by:
Now, lets place the 60 N force along the horizontal direction so the 80 N force would be making an angle of 60 degree.
Hence if we say that the resultant force is making an angle

with the horizontal, we would get:

Taking a ratio, would give the required result.
