Great, I have a steep hill in my front yard that I can't push a mower up and I have wondered for years what the actual grade is. According to my calculations it is 50%!

Mountain blvd, Oakland California. I’ve seen Chevy Tahoe etc….. grossly mis-judge their speed and come barreling down the tangential inverse. Brakes glowing red at the bottom.

What about in miles? I see on my app slopes measured in miles, such as 0.2 miles..

I might be wrong on this, but does that mean a person would burn more then 3 times as many calories as he would do on flat ground?

I don't know quantitatively, but going up burns a ton more calories. Hence the popularity of the Stairmaster...

1-foot is really too short for measuring a steep hill. If you don't have a 4-foot level, just use a 2x4 plank, deck board, broom handle etc. and put your 1-foot level on top of the board/stick. Then measure from the end of the board to the point you place your vertical ruler. The length of your horizontal (i.e. level) board is the "run" measurement. The height on your vertical ruler where it meets the top edge of your horizontal/level board is the "rise" measurement. Divide your Rise by your Run and then multiply by 100 to get the percent of slope (i.e. Angle of the hill). Repeat the process at several places on the hill to get an average measurement of the slope. For example: Take a measurement near the bottom of the hill, middle of the hill, and top of the hill. Add those 3 percentages together and divide by 3 to get your average slope percentage.

Is there an app that will do this? I don't want to measure a mile of road lol

What a great question. Yes, lots of them (techigem.com/inclinometer-apps/). I think I'd still carry a meter stick to put the phone on, though, so I'm measuring the actual hill slop and not 4 inches of it.

You are plugging the numbers into the calculator as decimal feet but you pulled out in inches. You could run into issues doing it this way with different numbers...you need to first convert your inches to decimal feet. 46 INCHES would be 3.83 in decimal feet and 10.5 inches would be .87 in decimal feet. You would then plug those numbers into your formula

He entered the numbers as decimal inches not feet. Will always work as long as the rise and run units are the same.
