To calculate the dimensions of a 1:20 slope:
$$VH = \frac{HD}{20}$$
$$HD = VH \times 20$$
$$SL = \sqrt{HD^2 + VH^2}$$
Where:
A 1:20 slope is a gradient or incline of a surface where for every 20 units of horizontal distance, there is a 1 unit change in vertical height. This type of slope is often used in construction, landscaping, and civil engineering to ensure proper drainage, accessibility, and to meet building regulations. It is considered a gentle slope that is typically easy to walk up and is wheelchair accessible.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
$$SL = \sqrt{HD^2 + VH^2} = \sqrt{100^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{10000 + 25} = \sqrt{10025} \approx 100.12$$ units
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
$$SL = \sqrt{HD^2 + VH^2} = \sqrt{200^2 + 10^2} = \sqrt{40000 + 100} = \sqrt{40100} \approx 200.25$$ units
