The formula to calculate the slope of a fence is:
\[ \text{Slope} = \left(\frac{\text{Vertical Rise}}{\text{Horizontal Distance}}\right) \times 100 \]
Where:
Fence slope refers to the steepness or incline of a fence relative to the horizontal ground. It is important for ensuring that a fence is built to accommodate variations in land elevation, which can be critical for both aesthetic and structural reasons.
Example:
Calculation:
\[ \text{Slope} = \left(\frac{5}{50}\right) \times 100 = 10\% \]
