By its gradient. For example 1 in 5 is steep whereas one in 35 is much less steep. Got the idea?

The gradient is the height of the increase divided by the distance forward

If a slope is 45 degrees upwards then the gradient is equal to one If its steeper than that it is more than one

The answer to the question is relative

The gradient is one way to measure how steep the slope is

A road that has a gradient of 0.01 units is not known to be steep

That road goes up 1 unit for every 100 units distance

i.e. a gradient of 0.01 or (one in a 100)

Taking a shot in the dark here…guessing if the slope is greater than 45°, it’s steep?

truley i have no idea. but this is what i found.

Defines a steep slope as a slope of or greater than 25% measured over any horizontal distance of 50 feet.

if this is for homework it sounds like a good answer!

Good luck hun.

the angle the steepest it could be is 90 degrees thats a straight line if this is a question in a text book answer it like this: You can tell a slope is steep by its angle. thats how i would do it what unit are you in?

Steepness is a matter of how vertical it is. If a hill is almost straight up and down, that means it’s very steep. Do you get it?

Roll down the slope into an inanimate object such as a tree or wall: the more it hurts the steeper the slope is.

Divide the rise (y variable) by the run (x variable). The larger the number (if positive) or smaller (if negative), the steeper the slope.
