To calculate the angle of a ramp:
Picture the ramp as a right triangle. Lets call the vertical height 'b', the horizontal distance 'a', and the ramp path 'c'. You will need to find at least two of the three values.
If you have 'a' and 'b', divide the arctangent of 'b' by 'a'.
If you have 'c' and either 'a' or 'b', you can find the arccosine (a/c) or arcsine (b/c), respectively. We recommend using an online calculator to solve this step.
