If you have nothing better get a sheet of paper and make a mark half way down one side. Place that sheet so that one edge touches one of the walls with the mark in the junction of where the walls meet. Fold the paper where it touches the corner so that the folded edge just touches the other wall. Bring the two edges that are now touching the walls together so as to fold the produced angle in half. That is the angle that you need to cut.

The problem with working it out like punky suggests is that corners in a house are virtually never square or at the perfect angle so you have to find out what the angle actually is rather than what it should be.
