FALSE
its the tangent of the angle the slope makes with the x-axis
true or false ? perpendicular lines intersect at an angle of 45
supplementary angles
Step 1: Divide the percentage slope by 100. Step 2: Calculate arctan or tan-1 [=atan() in Excel] of that value to give the angle. Advanced mathematicians use radians to measure angles, and Excel calculates the angle in radians. However, if you need it in degrees, multiply the last answer by 180/pi. On most calculators you will need to ensure that angles are measured in degrees. Thus, if you have a 15% slope, step 1 gives 0.15 and step 2 gives an angle of 0.1489 radians, which is equal to 8.53 degrees (approx).
None of them.
Yes, they do. And this angle of repose will be different for different materials, the particle sizes and the moisture content.
The slope of any flowing surface like lava, ash, pebbles is called the "angle of repose."

The angle at which loose material will not slide down a slope is called the angle of repose. It is the maximum angle at which an inclined surface formed of a particular loose material can remain stable without sliding. The angle of repose varies depending on the size, shape, and friction of the particles making up the material.
The angle of friction refers to the maximum angle at which an object can rest on a surface without sliding, while the angle of repose is the maximum angle at which a pile of granular material remains stable without collapsing or sliding. The angle of friction is specific to an object on a surface, while the angle of repose is more related to the stability of a pile of material.
No
Most loose, not compacted, sands and silts have an angle of repose, measured from the horizontal, of 35 degrees.
FALSE
No slope is the angle at which a surface goes up or down.
