G = arctan(0.125) ~= 0.124 radians

Explanation:

Let's assume that the question is asking us to solve for G. We can use the inverse function of tan, sometimes called arctan or tan^(-1). To use it we need to take the inverse function of both sides of the equation:

arctan(tan(G)) = arctan(0.125)

=> G = arctan(0.125) ~= 0.124 radians

This is the primary solution for G. There are other values of G which will satisfy this equation

G ~= 0.124 + n*pi where n \in ZZ
