You just have to substitute values of slope and vertical distance in formula and get value of horizontal distance. Similarly, any one of them can be found if other two are given. For instance, if you have a slope given in Percentage as 10 % and a vertical distance of 50 feet, then equation will look like:
To determine RUN (horizontal distance), use the formula: â¢ rise (vertical change) = run (horizontal distance) % of slope (gradient) 3. Slope Ratio a. A slope ratio expresses the relationship of horizontal distance to vertical distance.he rise equals 3.44 feet (47.81 minus 44.37 = 3.44). The distance is given at 120 feet, so the formula is as follows: 3.44 feet (rise) = % of slope, which calculates to be 2.87% (round to the100th place) 120 feet (run) b.
