The formula to calculate Pitch Percentage is:
\[ \text{Pitch} = \left( \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} \right) \times 100 \]
Where:
Pitch percentage is a way of expressing the slope of a roof. It is calculated by dividing the rise of the roof by the run, which is the horizontal distance over which the rise occurs. The result is then multiplied by 100 to get a percentage. This measurement is important for architects, builders, and engineers when designing and constructing buildings, as it affects factors such as drainage, aesthetics, and structural integrity.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate Pitch Percentage:
\[ \text{Pitch} = \left( \frac{10}{20} \right) \times 100 = 0.5 \times 100 = 50\% \]
The Pitch Percentage is 50%.
