5.596 inches (rounded)
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.
The slope can be defined as rise over run. It is the degree at which a line goes up or down.
rise/run = tangent 15 degrees rise = tan(15) x 48 = 12.86 inches
Slope equals rise over run.

It is 0.087 feet = 1.05 inches, approx.
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.
"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.
It is approx 1.7 inches.
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math now? Okay, okay. So, a 2 percent slope is like 2 inches of rise per 100 inches of run. And since there are 12 inches in a foot, you just divide 100 by 12 to get around 8.3 feet per foot on a 2 percent slope. Math is fun, right?
That is the Pitch or slope of the roof. It means that in one foot of horizontal measure you will have 5" of rise .
To convert .25 inch per foot into degrees or percent slope, you first need to determine the rise over the run. In this case, .25 inch per foot is equivalent to a rise of .25 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance (1 foot). To convert this into degrees, you can use the arctangent function: arctan(.25/12) ≈ 1.19 degrees. To convert this into percent slope, you can use the formula: percent slope = (rise / run) x 100. In this case, it would be (.25/12) x 100 ≈ 2.08% slope.
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
