"Rise per run" or something like that is the tangent function. Use your scientific calculator to calculate tan 30. Be sure to set your calculator to degrees first. Then - since you want the result in inches per foot - multiply this tangent by 12.

What is the rise per foot run of a 5 degree slope?
It is 0.087 feet = 1.05 inches, approx.
How do you convert .25 inch per foot into degrees or percent slope?
To express .25 inch per foot as a percent slope multiply rise over run times 100. This can be expressed rise/run x 100. rise=.25 inch run=12inches. So .25 divided by 12 times 100 equals 2.083 which can be rounded to 2.1 or simply 2% slope
What does it mean to the rise over run when the slope is an integer?
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
What is the ratio of rise to run?
It is the slope.
How do you find slope from a table?
Slope is rise over run, so if you have a rise of 2 and a run of 4, then the slope is 0.5. If the table gives rises and runs, then just follow the two until they meet, that should be the slope.
What is the rise per foot in inches of a 25 degree slope?
5.596 inches (rounded)
What is the rise per foot run of a 5 degree slope?
It is 0.087 feet = 1.05 inches, approx.
What is the slope of a ramp that has a rise of 1 inch over a run of 10ft?
Slope is equal to rise over run. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 10 feet is actually 120 inches. Therefore, the slope is equal to 1/120.
How much rise would a run of eight foot at a one degree rise?
It is approx 1.7 inches.
What is a 5 12 pitch roof?
That is the Pitch or slope of the roof. It means that in one foot of horizontal measure you will have 5" of rise .
What is the length of slope with 3 12 pitch and a run of 2 ft?
3/12 means rise of 3 inches for 12 inches or 1 foot. 2 feet would give you a rise of 6inches. The slope is 6^2+24^2=s^2 36+576=612 s=approximately 24.7386337537
How do carpenters and architects express roof slope?
It is most often expressed as a ratio of inches of rise per 12 inches of run. A roof slope that rises 4 inches for every 12 inches of run is a "4 in 12" slope, or 4/12 slope, or 4:12 slope.
What does slope mean algerbra?
The slope can be defined as rise over run. It is the degree at which a line goes up or down.
How many inches of rise is there over 48 inches at a 15 degree angle?
rise/run = tangent 15 degrees rise = tan(15) x 48 = 12.86 inches
List the subdivisions of the continenal margin?
The three parts of the continental margins are the Continental shelf, the Continental slope, and the Continental rise.
Is the rise always bigger than the run?
Rise over run is used to determine slope. It doesn't matter which number is bigger. It simply tells you how far up a slope climbs over what distance. So on a roof for instance, 4/12 means the roof climbs 4 inches higher every foot of width.
How many inches does it take to get a 30 degree rise on a bed?
A standard bed length is 80 inches. To get a 30 degree rise, you need to raise head up by 40 inches (sine of 30 degrees x 80).
