______________________________|   Height  80.0mm

                                                                                           Length   1600. mm
                   
                           
Divide Horizontal distance By Vertical Height   =  Slope as a ratio of Incline or Gradient
       

                           
To find the Angle of Gradient  - Divide the Vertical Height  By Horizontal Height =

                                                  Refer to Table of Tangents to find Angle in Degees
