# Given Values:
Total Rise: 12 in
Run-to-Rise Ratio: 12
# Formula:
Required Run = rise * ratio
Required Run = rise * ratio
# Substitution:
Required Run = 12 * 12
Required Run = 12 * 12
Final Answer: 144 in
How it works
Slope = Rise / Run
Biological Formula Standard
ADA guidelines for public access require a maximum slope of 1:12 (1 inch of rise for every 12 inches of run).
