Side Slope Measuring Device?

[marin8703]

I dont know if anyone wants to know this anymore but 100% slope by definition is equal to 45 degrees. The formula to convert between percent and degrees is simple.

angle(degrees) = (180/pi)*arctan(%/100) therefore using this formula

degrees = (180/3.14)*arctan(40/100) = 21.80 degrees, and this is how much slope the H3 can handle.

incase anyone wants to use this formula there is no way to calculate it by hand, you need a scientific calculator. pi by definition is about 3.14, and arctan is tangent to the negative one power(or in other words inverse tangent). to use arctan just look for a button on your calc that says something like tan-1.

hope this helps someone.
