The formula to calculate the percent slope from degrees is:
\[ PS = \tan(s) \times 100 \]
Where:
The percent slope is a measure used to describe the steepness or incline of a surface. It is calculated by taking the tangent of the slope angle (in degrees) and multiplying it by 100. This metric is important in various fields such as civil engineering, construction, and environmental science to assess and design slopes, roads, and other structures.
Example 1:
Using the formula:
\[ PS = \tan(30) \times 100 \approx 57.74\% \]
Example 2:
Using the formula:
\[ PS = \tan(45) \times 100 \approx 100.00\% \]
