22 The diagram shows a cone.

Cone with vertex V and AB a diameter of the circular base

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

\(AB\) is a diameter of the cone.
\(V\) is the vertex of the cone.

Given that

the area of the base of the cone : the total surface area of the cone = 3 : 8

work out the size of angle \(AVB\).
Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.
