See image attached. There is a small right triangle formed by the skyscrapper, there is a big right triangle formed by the sun.Β 
angle \theta on a small and big triangle is the same.

To find the measure of the angle, use trigonometry ratio of tangent
\text{tan} \theta =  \dfrac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}

plug in the numbers
\text{tan} \theta =  \dfrac{396}{322}
\theta =  \text{tan}^{-1} \left({\dfrac{396}{322} \right)
\theta = 50.884^{0}
or approximately 50Β°
