SOLVE: If you plan to install a paver patio with a length of ten linear feet from the backyard door and a width of twenty linear feet with a recommended slope (m) of two percent. How many inches from the leveled square line at the ten linear foot mark would be needed to achieve the proper two percent slope? And what would that look like at two other points along the surface to confirm the slope?
