A roof rises 8.5 ft over a horizontal distance of 18.02ft. what is the slope of the roof to the nearest hundredth?
8.5/18.02 = ??
-0.126/-0.9
To find the slope of the roof, we need to divide the rise (vertical change) by the run (horizontal change).
Given:
Rise = 8.5 ft
Run = 18.02 ft
To calculate the slope, we use the formula:
slope = rise / run
Plugging in the values:
slope = 8.5 ft / 18.02 ft
To find the slope to the nearest hundredth, we can round the result to two decimal places.
Calculating the slope:
slope ≈ 0.4719
Therefore, the slope of the roof to the nearest hundredth is approximately 0.47.
