51 degrees
Fifty–one degrees is the angle that a classical Egyptian pyramid's sides will rise from the horizon, and is the angle of a diagonal taken across a Golden Rectangle, or a rectangle in the proportion of the Golden Section, a proportion that will be known especially to Greek geometricians. Fifty–one degrees is also the angle of repose of sand, the angle that sand naturally assumes in a mound.
