Harry is building a house with a sloping roof. If the roof is 44 feet long and 10 feet high, what is the angle that the roof makes with the horizontal?
------------------
If it's 10 ft at one end,
tan(x) = 10/44
x =~ 12.8 degs
------------------
If it's 10 ft in the center, as most roofs are, you can calculate that.
