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:
If angle is anything bit 45 degrees, use cos or sin functions to find the distance-the distance line would form a right triangle with the angled line between the two parallel lines.hope this helps. Source(s): new777day Â· 8 years ago.sing cosine function: let s = distance between the two vertical parallel lines. A = angle formed by the 24 line with the distance. cosA = s/12 s = 12cosA ds/dA = -12sinA The above formula tells you how the distance s decreases as the angle A increases. Hope I help you.
