You just have to substitute values of slope and vertical distance in formula and get value of horizontal distance. Similarly, any one of them can be found if other two are given. For instance, if you have a slope given in Percentage as 10 % and a vertical distance of 50 feet, then equation will look like:
To calculate the distance, or RUN, the % of slope and the rise are needed. The % of slope was previously determined to be 2.87%. The rise is 1 foot (47 minus 46). The formula is as follows: 1 foot (rise) = run (horizontal distance), which equals 34.88 feet 2.87% (slope).he rise equals 3.44 feet (47.81 minus 44.37 = 3.44). The distance is given at 120 feet, so the formula is as follows: 3.44 feet (rise) = % of slope, which calculates to be 2.87% (round to the100th place) 120 feet (run) b.
