Slope and Angle
From rise and run computes slope percent and angle in degrees.
Slope %
100,00 %
Angle
45,00°

Formula
slope (%) = (rise / run) × 100; angle = arctan(rise / run)
Example: rise 1, run 1 → slope 100%, angle 45°
Methodology
Slope in % and angle α: tan(α) = slope/100. Angle to slope: slope = tan(α) × 100.
Example
10% slope corresponds to about 5.7°.
