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:
The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. Distance between two points in a plane is calculated with the 2 coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2,y2). Draw a right angled triangle with the line formed by the points. The distance between the two points can be calculated by finding the horizontal (x2 - x1) and vertical distances (y2 - y1). Enter the coordinate values into this online Distance Between Two Points Calculator and find the length between the two points.
