(V^2/g)*sin2A = 2.0 m
is the equation for where the water lands.
It is the same equation that applies to ballistics (cannonballs, thrown rocks etc)

Solve for the angle A. There will be two of them, since 2A can range from 0 to 180 degrees.

A = 16.5 and 73.5 degrees

Note that they are complementary angles.
