Polarization physcs sum?

Unpolarized light is incident on 2 polarizng sheets placed on top of the other...each sheet reduces the intensity of unpolarized light by 50%..wat must be the angle between the characteristic direction of sheet such tat the intnsty of transmittd light is 1/3rd of the incident?
