[SOLVED] Wording Question Regarding Angles

If it says "to the horizontal", such as 30 degrees to the horizontal, would the angle be measured from Y or X? I measured it from the horizontal, but reading it over, it sounds like it's measured towards the horizontal, so I was thinking it may be from the vertical.

Thank you very much!

"30 degrees to the horizontal" means that the angle between the "thing" and the horizontal is 30 degrees.

That's what I initially had, but I always want to read too much into it lol. Thanks for the clarification!
