Find the slope or pitch of the roof. I need both the slope and pitch.
13ft

|__13.8ft
The pitch of the roof is__%
(round to the nearest percent as needed)
Pitch = (Y/X) * 100% = (13/13.8) * 100%
To find the slope or pitch of the roof, we can use the rise and run of the roof.
Given the dimensions provided, the rise (vertical distance) of the roof is 13 feet, and the run (horizontal distance) is 13.8 feet.
To find the slope, we can use the formula:
Slope = rise / run
In this case, the slope is:
Slope = 13 ft / 13.8 ft
Simplifying this expression, we get:
Slope ≈ 0.942 (rounded to three decimal places)
The pitch of the roof is usually expressed as a percentage. To convert the slope to a percentage, you can multiply it by 100. So, the pitch is approximately:
Pitch = (0.942) * 100 ≈ 94.2%
Therefore, the pitch of the roof is approximately 94.2% (rounded to the nearest percent).
