Answer

$49^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $I_4=\frac{1}{2}I_{\circ}cos^6\theta$ But given that $I_4=\frac{1}{25}I_{\circ}$ $\implies \frac{1}{25}I_{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}I_{\circ}cos^6\theta$ This simplifies to: $cos\theta=(\frac{2}{25})^{\frac{1}{6}}$ $\implies \theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{2}{25})^{\frac{1}{6}}$ $\theta=49^{\circ}$
