In geometry, 1 in 10 means for every ten units of horizontal distance crosses there is 1 unit of vertical drop or rise. This slope's value is calculated using the angle of tan. Let x be the angle to be used for tan.
tanx=(horizontaldistance)(verticaldistance)
tanx=110=0.1
x=tan-1(0.1)
x=5.71°
By rounding to the nearest digit, the degree value will be 6.
Hence, 6 degrees is the angle of 1 in 10 slope.
