Why didn't they use the angle to solve for the answer?

I have the answer to the question, but I can't seem to understand why they didn't use the angle... Is it negligible?

The question is... At the base of a frictionless icy hill that rises at 25 degrees above the horizontal, a toboggan has a speed of 12.0 m/s toward the hill. How high vertically above the base will it go before stopping?
