    Calculate Slope of a triangle

    The picture attached gives the example I need a solution to.

    I showed this to my math prof and he couldn't figure it out but then he teaches math class's of a lower level so his practice in this category is lost.


    I need the angle of the triangle...If you need to picture this in your head, assume the triangle is a piece of a cliff...The two bottom points are on the ground and the top point is in the air.

    I need to know the slope or steepness of the triangle to the ground.
    If the triangle is 60-90 degree then I consider it a cliff.

    An explanation of the steps would be ncie, some pictures would be nice, the answer would be nice, any sort of help would be nice.
    Thanks in advance.
