Calculate Car Ramp Slope





Formula

The formula to calculate the slope angle of a car ramp is:

\[ \text{Slope (angle)} = \arctan\left(\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\right) \]

Definition

Rise is the vertical height of the ramp. Run is the horizontal length of the ramp. The slope angle is the angle formed between the ramp and the horizontal ground.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Slope (angle)} = \arctan\left(\frac{1.5}{10}\right) = 8.53 \text{ degrees} \]
