Slope Calculator
Convert the slope (%) to an angle.
If you only know height and distance instead of slope
Calculate using the arc tangent function.
The calculation formula is as follows:
angle = arc tangent (height / distance)
These transformations are used to understand and measure the slope of a terrain or structure.
FAQ
Enter distance and height to automatically calculate slope(%) and angle(degrees). Or enter slope(%) to convert to angle.
Slope(%) is the ratio of height to horizontal distance of 100, while angle(degrees) is the angle formed with the horizontal line. For example, 50% is approximately 26.6 degrees.
Slope is an important criterion for determining land use, building feasibility, farmland suitability, and disaster risk. Generally, 15% or less is classified as flat land.
