It's actually 26.57 degrees. Including the lip at the end, a roof built with
those parts will have a slope of 30.96 degrees.
So the Lego name probably comes from approximating the slope. The community
name probably comes from erroneously using 1/3 as the angle in degrees...not
only isn't that the rise over run, the angle is wrong too.
BTW, the 1x1 mini-slope is 30.96 or 38.66 (with lip) degrees,
"45" degree slopes are actually 45 degrees or 50.19 with the lip.

| This piece : (URL) called a 25 degree slope, but everyone else calls it a 33 degree slope. Why the discrepancy? Is it really 33 or 25 degrees? And if it's 33 degrees, why doesn't LEGO update the product name? If it's really 25 degrees, why doesn't (...) (17 years ago, 5-Aug-07, to lugnet.parts)
