2.1.6 Calculate angles/slopes

Rise / Run = Slope

  • Examples:
    • 4/12 slope = .33
    • 12/12 slope = 1
  • Slope for this diagram
    • 20/20 = 1

Length of slope

  • Pythagorean Theorem (Hypotenuse Theorem)
  • A² + B² = C²
  • √(A² + B²)= C
  • √(202 + 202) = 28.28

Sloped Areas:

  • Area of slope = (hypotenuse) x ( Length/ Base)
  • Area of slope = 28.28 x 36 = 1018.23
