-- If you know one of the two non-square angles, find it in the "Second
angle" or "Third angle" column. If the exact value is not shown, use
interpolation to make your best guess or use one of the calculators below
-- If you know or have calculated the Rise figure over a Run of 12, find it
the "Rise over 12" column.
-- If you know the hypotenuse length, find it in the table to learn the othe
values.
If none of this works for you, choose one of the four calculators below.
Although pitch is
usually referenced to
a Run of 12 units, this
calculator allows you
to enter any value for
the Run.
