What is an Angle Pitch?

An angle pitch, often referred to as the slope or gradient, is a measure of the steepness or incline of a surface. It is commonly used in construction, roofing, and various engineering fields to describe the angle between a horizontal plane and the inclined surface. The angle pitch is typically expressed in degrees and can be calculated using the rise (vertical height) and run (horizontal length) of the surface. Understanding the angle pitch is crucial for ensuring structural stability and proper drainage in construction projects.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \theta = \arctan\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \approx 36.87^\circ \]

The Angle Pitch is approximately 36.87 degrees.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \theta = \arctan\left(\frac{5}{12}\right) \approx 22.62^\circ \]

The Angle Pitch is approximately 22.62 degrees.
