Stair Slope Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Stair Slope (SS) is:

\[ SS = \frac{HS}{LS} \]

Where:

Stair Slope (SS): The ratio of the height of each stair to the length of each stair.
Significance: Used to determine the steepness of stairs, which is important for safety and comfort in building design.

Let's say the height of each stair (HS) is 7 inches and the length of each stair (LS) is 10 inches. Using the formula:

\[ SS = \frac{7}{10} = 0.7 \]

So, the Stair Slope (SS) is 0.7.
