The initial mass is 250, when t=0

so i find how long it takes to make m=500?

Don't draw a triangle. You should know some ideintities involving tan and cosec.

You can use a right angled triangle with the side opposite A = 2 units and the side adjacent =1 unit
So what length is the hypotenuse?
Then you can write down the ratios of all the angles.
