15%ramp is a rise of 15/100 = 0.15 slope angle is inverse tangent of this, or 8.53 degrees
30% is steeper than 15% slope.
"Percent Slope" is a representation that uses the ratio between the rise and run to describe the triangle formed. "Degree slope" is the measure of the angle formed. You can simply take the percent and divide by 100 to get back to the real ratio and then take the inverse tan of that number to give you the degrees of slope.
how to convert slope into percent grade
It is a 300% slope!
15%ramp is a rise of 15/100 = 0.15 slope angle is inverse tangent of this, or 8.53 degrees
30% is steeper than 15% slope.
convert percent of slope to degree
To convert 'D' degrees into a percent slope, you could use the Excel formula:= 100 * TAN ( D / 57.296 )
==> tangent of 8.5 degrees = 0.14945 . . . very nearly 15% ==> 1/6.7 = 0.14925 . . . very nearly 15%
.15 x 360 degrees = 54 degrees
"Percent Slope" is a representation that uses the ratio between the rise and run to describe the triangle formed. "Degree slope" is the measure of the angle formed.

15% represents 54 degrees.
100% = 360 degrees so 15% = 360*15/100 = 54 degrees.
A pie chart is a circle, which has 360 degrees. So 15% of 360 is 54 degrees.

54/360 of 100 = 15%
