To calculate the grade slope:
\[ GS = \frac{GY}{GX} \times 100 \]
Where:
The grade slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a surface. It is calculated as the ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run, expressed as a percentage. This is commonly used in construction, road design, and landscaping to determine the slope of a surface.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Divide the grade rise by the grade run:
\[ \frac{GY}{GX} = \frac{10}{50} = 0.2 \]
Step 2: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
\[ GS = 0.2 \times 100 = 20\% \]
So, the grade slope is 20%.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Divide the grade rise by the grade run:
\[ \frac{GY}{GX} = \frac{15}{75} = 0.2 \]
Step 2: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
\[ GS = 0.2 \times 100 = 20\% \]
So, the grade slope is 20%.
