f = (11s^2 + 172s + 700)/((s + 2)(s^2 + 12s + 100));

ans = FullSimplify[ExpToTrig[InverseLaplaceTransform[f, s, t]]]

(6*Cos[8*t] + 5*E^(4*t) +
   8*Sin[8*t])/E^(6*t)

You want to find b such that
(6 Cos[8t] + 8 Sin[8t] == 10 Cos[8t - b])

((Cos[x-b]//TrigExpand) /. x -> 8t)

Cos[b]*Cos[8*t] + Sin[b]*Sin[8*t]

Off[Solve::ifun];

b /. Flatten[Solve[{10*Cos[b] == 6, 10*Sin[b] == 8}, b]]

ArcCos[3/5]

(%/Degree)//N
