A ramp is used for loading equipment from a dock to a ship. The ramp is 10 feet long and the ship is 6 feet higher than the dock. What is the angle of elevation of the ramp?

Use the sine function to arrange the equation.

$$Sin\theta=\frac{6}{10}$$

To find the angle, remember that you will have to take the arcsin of (6/10).
