Hi Matt,
Well, one method works cause it works but I was curious if there are others.
I have replied to anthony with a method which resolves the cubic dimensions
change when changing the angle of a selected face of a cube. If my response to
anthony did not go to you as well please let me know and I will send you the
method. You will be pleased to know of how I resolved it and may wish to offer
comment or correction.
Thanks
David

David,
I may be wrong but I don't think you will be able to change the angle or
rotation of the face without distorting the cube.
I'm curious, I think you mentioned that you booleaned the cube before and that
worked? What's the intention with looking for another method? Did that
subtraction not accomplish what you were looking to do?
What kind of object are you trying to create?

Not sure I fully understand the question because you can't rotate only a
single face of a cube to a specific angle without distorting the cube's
form.
Anyway, right click the object selector icon (looks like an arrow) to open
the object properties box. Select the object and type in the desired angle
to rotate the entire object. Alternatively, right click the object to
enter point edit mode, then select the face you want to rotate and enter
the desired angle in the object properties dialogue. Only the selected
face will rotate to the angle input.
