At what angle, or slope in degrees will the hypotenus of this triangle ly?
The vertical leg measures 29"
The hypotenuse measures 63"
One angle of the triangle is 90 degree
-------------
Draw the picture of the triangle.
slope = rise/run
------------------
run = sqrt(63^2-29^2) = 55.93 inches
----------------------
slope = 29/55.93 = 0.5185

The vertical leg measures 29"

One angle of the triangle is 90 degree
-------------
The other leg, the base is sqrt(63^2 - 29^2)
= sqrt(3128) =~ 55.9285
slope m = 29/55.9285 =~0.51852
------------
The angle is the arctan of m, =~ 27.407º
-----------------
Another method, without finding the slope, is
Angle = arcsin(29/63)
Angle = 27.407º
