To calculate the elevation percentage:
\[ EP = \frac{V}{H} \times 100 \]
Where:
Elevation percentage, also known as slope percentage, is a way of expressing the change in altitude between two points in terms of percentage. It is calculated by dividing the vertical change in height by the horizontal distance covered, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. This measurement is commonly used in mapping, construction, and outdoor activities like hiking or cycling to understand the steepness of a terrain.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ EP = \frac{50}{200} \times 100 = 25\% \]
The Elevation Percentage is 25%.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ EP = \frac{100}{400} \times 100 = 25\% \]
The Elevation Percentage is 25%.
