What`s an 8% slope mean? How is it calculated?

[@kakudmi]

Out of all of traffic signs, this is the only one that requires you to stop, take out your sci-calc, and spend a few minutes planning and plotting your trip ahead.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is the first video I've found that didn't tell you to use an inclinometer or other gauges. I knew there had to be an easier way! You also did a great job explaining the math. I didn't get to that level of math in school, but I have no doubts about calculating a slope!

For the first time in my 34 years of life i understood math. Thank you so much!

Thank you.I have been trying to figure out grade to degrees.

[@theegg-viator4707]

Excellent quick and to the point!

Much appreciated!

[@RLDenham]

If you gave me a 1000 years I could never figure this out thank God I don't have to do math in my daily life

[@johnoswald6192]

Why you use the tangent use another sin,cos and cesec... Can you explain that

[@theoverengineer]

In road construction and surveying, length of hypotenuse is not used much / not known or available.

[@steelavocado1]

Tangent is opposite/adjacent. The opposite is the 8, and adjacent is the 100. It’s the only one that doesn’t use the hypotenuse and no more calculations are necessary. You can use a^2+b^2=c^2 to calculate the hypotenuse which you can use in sin (opposite/hypotenuse) and cos (adjacent/hypotenuse)

[@TomaDustin]

Much Appreciated

[@umeshprayag6108]

Very nicely explained as we don’t use these scientific calculator nowadays.

[@theoverengineer]

Cheers, mate!
