Simply, the slope is -54/1080 or -1/20 since the word "drop" connotes a negative slope

imagine it as a triangle with side 54 & 1080
use pythagoras theorm a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a & b are the values that you already have & c is the hypotenuse (diagonal slope)
so do 54^2 + 1080^2 = c^2
1169316= c^2
c= square root of 1169316
c= 10811.35 feet

easy you have 54/1080 = tg angle
the slope is 1/20 = 0.05

1080 what?(feet?meters?what?)
umm if feet
C(slope)
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=(1080)^2+(54)^2
c^2=1166400+2916
c^2=1169316
c=square root of 1169316
c or the slope=1081.349157 feet
=^.^=
math is fun

in case you place those 2 figures on an xy airplane then the right of the falls is at (0,fifty 4) on y axis the backside of the falls is at (928,0) on x axis Slope is (fifty 4-0)/ (0-928) = fifty 4/-928 = - 0.0581 rounded - 0.06
