If I walk a distance of 100ft and the elevation of my walk increases by 100ft, what is the angle of the path?
-----------------------
To do that, you have to move vertically, so the angle is 90 degs.
-------------
If you meant that the horizontal distance was 100 feet, then it's 45 degs, but then you would be 141 feet (100*sqrt(2)) from the starting point.
