Percent Slope
53.17%
Formula:
Percent Slope = tan(28.00° × π/180) × 100
Percent Slope = tan(0.4887) × 100
Percent Slope = 0.5317 × 100
Percent Slope = 53.17%
Percent Slope = tan(28.00° × π/180) × 100
Percent Slope = tan(0.4887) × 100
Percent Slope = 0.5317 × 100
Percent Slope = 53.17%
What this means: A 28.00° angle creates a slope where for every 100 units of horizontal distance, the vertical rise is 53.17 units.
How to Convert Degrees to Percent Slope
The conversion from degrees to percent slope uses the tangent function:
- Convert the angle from degrees to radians: radians = degrees × π/180
- Calculate the tangent: tan(radians)
- Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: percent slope = tan(radians) × 100
Example: For a 45° angle:
- Radians = 45 × π/180 = 0.7854
- tan(0.7854) = 1.0
- Percent slope = 1.0 × 100 = 100%
