Which hill described in the table is the steepest and why ? Horizontal Vertical Street Distance Rise of Street (ft ) (ft) Dixie Hill 60 20 Bell Hill 60 40 Liberty Hill 60 30 (1 point ) Bell Hill it rises 2/3 foot for every 1 foot of horizontal travel Dixie Hill it rises 1 foot for every 3 feet of horizontal travel Bell Hill it rises 3 feet for every 2 feet of horizontal travel Liberty Hill it rises 2 feet for every 1 foot of horizontal travel
Bell Hill is the steepest because it rises 2/3 foot for every 1 foot of horizontal travel. This means that for every 1 foot of horizontal distance, the vertical rise is 2/3 of a foot. This is steeper than Dixie Hill, which rises 1 foot for every 3 feet of horizontal travel, and Liberty Hill, which rises 2 feet for every 1 foot of horizontal travel.
