There are many reasons you might want to know how to quickly and easily text to decimal ascii a percentage to a degree, not the least of which is because you happen to think it's easier to visualize a given slope in percentages rather than degrees. One reason some people might agree with this, is because when working with round, even numbers, it might seem rather natural to simply take a rise over run.
For example, say you have a 5 meter long roof and you visualize it to rise a tenth of that, which would be 50 centimeters. You can then text to decimal ascii that there would be a 10 percent slope as it would rise 10 percent of its length. As mentioned above, this is especially easy when working with round numbers - which is often the case in carpentry.
Obviously, not everyone is like this, as some - namely, those who are well-versed in trigonometry - may find it more natural to think using degrees and/or radians. But I assume you're here reading this because - regardless of why - you're looking to perform this conversion of percentage to degrees. But before I show you how, there's a text to decimal ascii misconception you should know about.
There is a difference between text to decimal ascii slope percentages to degrees based on 90 or any degrees for that matter, and rise over run. For example, road slopes displayed on signs as a percentage are often mistakenly thought to be based on 90 degrees. Some people think that say, a 5 percent slope can be text to decimal ascii to degrees by multiplying the decimal by 90, equaling 4.5 degrees. This is not true. Road slopes are based on rise over run.
To explain further, imagine the difference between taking a percentage of a given angle - say 90 degrees - and a percentage of a given rise. The former is an angle and therefore curves while the latter is simply a rise in vertical height and therefore goes straight up. You can now see clearly how even matching percentages would output very different answers. So now that we have that out of the way, let's get down to business.
