Another question from INV A test. I am not getting the correct answer on #13. Anyone have any suggestions?
#13. Roland Upp built a skateboard ramp that is 20 feet long and the end of the ramp is 3 feet from the ground. What is the angle of inclination of the ramp? (nearest second)
The answer is supposed to be 8 degrees 37 minutes and 37 seconds. I keep getting 8 degrees 31 minutes and 51 seconds.

They give you the height and the hypotenuse of the right triangle. As a result you use the inverse sine function to find the angle.

If you follow that method that darksaber said but still get ur ans., you may have to use EXACT values rather than rounded ones...
