Best Answer

Use a calculator or computer.

You could convert the angle from degrees to radians.

Then, if the angle is x radians,

cos(x) = 1 - x^2/2! + x^4/4! - x^6/6! - ...

But be warned: this is an infinite series.

How do you find the angle of a cosine?

You mean, you have the cosine, and want the angle? That is called arc-cosine, often written as cos-1x. Your scientific calculator should have a "shift" key or something similar, which you press, followed by the cosine key. That will give you the inverse cosine or arc-cosine.
