Can someone here explain to us what % gradient angle means please?  I'm uncertain 
about this myself.  Does it refer to % of the right angle or the horizontal distance?  
For instance, say an angle in the first quadrant has the horizontal distance of 1 
meter and the height was say 5 cm, would this carachterize a 5% gradient angle?

Thank you (anyone) in advance for this clarification.
