Calculate Slope from Angle

Formula

The formula to calculate the Slope (S) from an angle is:

\[ \text{S} = \tan(\text{A}) \times 100 \]

Where:

Angle to Slope Definition

The angle to slope conversion is a method used to determine the steepness or incline of a surface. The angle is measured in degrees, and the slope is expressed as a percentage. This conversion is commonly used in fields such as construction, engineering, and road design to ensure that surfaces are built to the correct specifications and safety standards. By knowing either the angle or the slope, you can calculate the other value, as well as the rise and run of the surface.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{S} = \tan(30) \times 100 = 57.74\% \]

The Slope (S) is 57.74%.
