Question

A blueprint of a shopping complex shows the bottom edge of the roof to be 93 feet above the ground. If the roof
rises to a point 171 feet above the ground over a horizontal distance of 6.5 yards, what is the slope of the roof?
12
O
1.2
08

Answer 1

Slope = (rise) / (run)

Rise = (171-93) = 78 ft

Run = 6.5 yards = 19.5 ft

Slope = (78 / 19.5)

Slope = 4
