Result
Enter your data or use the example, then run the tool.
Worked example
Rise 1 and run 10 gives 10%, 5.7106° and sloped length 10.0499 in the same unit.
Method
Slope percentage is height difference ÷ horizontal distance × 100. The angle comes from the same right triangle; sloped length is the square root of the two lengths squared and added. You can also enter percentage or angle to find height difference.
Limits
Use the same unit for both lengths. Horizontal distance is not sloped distance. A nonzero height over zero horizontal distance is vertical; zero over zero is undefined. Results do not establish accessibility, drainage or road compliance.
