To determine the horizontal projection of the ramp from the threshold, multiply the rise by the desired slope (12, 16 or 20 from the example above) and divide the result by 12 to convert to feet. For instance, a 30-inch rise multiplied by a 1:16 slope equals 480 inches, which divided by 12 equals 40 feet - the ramp's horizontal extension from the threshold.
