Take corresponding points on two steps. The further apart these two points - the more steps between them - the more accurate the result will be.
Measure the horizontal distance between the two points (x) and the difference in height (y). If theta represents the angle of inclination of the staircase, then tan(theta) = y/x is the measure of the slope or steepness of the staircase.
To calculate the angle that the staircase makes with the floor, theta = arctan(y/x).

What can you determine about the steepness of a line in terms of its slope?
Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.
What is another word for slope or steepness?
Another word would be angle.
What is the slope of a line having no steepness?
A straight horizontal line is a line having no steepness.
How is the steepness of the line is related to the rate of change?
the steepness of the line is the slope of the line which is the rate of change; the steeper the slope, the faster the rate of change
What is slope?
it means steepness
What can you determine about the steepness of a line in terms of its slope?
Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.
Did the HMHS Britannic have a staircase?
It did have a staircase and there was a dome as well. When the Britannic was sinking the water would be rising up the staircase and when the ship rolled over the dome would of imploded.
What is another word for slope or steepness?
Another word would be angle.
Steepness of a line?
Its gradient, or slope. More precisely, it would be the absolute value of the gradient since the question does not distinguish between steepness from left to right or right to left.
What is a measure of the steepness of a line?
The measure of the steepness of a line is known as a line's slope.
Steepness of an area?
An area cannot have a steepness. It can have different steepnesses depending on which direction you travel in.
What is the steepness on a line graph called?
The steepness of a line graph is called the "gradient" ------------------------------- or slope.
What is the slope of a line having no steepness?
A straight horizontal line is a line having no steepness.
A wave breaks when its steepness exceeds?
I believe a wave breaks when its steepness exceeds its height and speed.
Is the steepness of a line on a motion graph is called a slope?
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
How is the steepness of the line is related to the rate of change?
the steepness of the line is the slope of the line which is the rate of change; the steeper the slope, the faster the rate of change
The stepness of a line is called?
I think 'stepness' should be 'steepness'. Steepness of the line is called slope of the line.
