To the nearest degree, what angle does the road make with a horizontal line? Change the percent grade to a fraction. A 7% grade means the road rises (or falls) 7 ft for every 100 ft of horizontal distance. Draw a right triangle to represent the road. A is the angle the road makes with a horizontal line.
