Under Test 1, how is the slope of the site calculated?

A. To determine the slope of a site, the distance and elevation between two points (e.g. an entrance and a pedestrian or vehicular arrival point) are determined. The difference in elevation is divided by the distance and that fraction is multiplied by 100 to obtain a percentage slope figure. For example, if a principal entrance is ten feet from a pedestrian arrival point and the principal entrance is raised one foot higher than the pedestrian arrival point, then the slope is l/lOxlO0=10%.
