the slope of a mountain if 10, 560 feet lenghth and 5,280 feet widthe
To find the slope of a mountain, you need to determine the vertical change (rise) divided by the horizontal change (run). In this case, the vertical change is the height of the mountain (10,560 feet) and the horizontal change is the length of the mountain (5,280 feet).
So, the slope of the mountain is:
Slope = Vertical Change / Horizontal Change
Slope = 10,560 feet / 5,280 feet
To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their common factor, 5280:
Slope = (10,560 feet / 5,280 feet) / (5,280 feet / 5,280 feet)
Slope = 2 / 1
Therefore, the slope of the mountain is 2.
