A ladder on the west coast trail on Vancouver island BC, has a slope of 16 over a run of 3 m. What is the Verticle distance covered by the ladder?
Slope = Y/x = 16
Y/3 = 16
Y = 48 m.
To find the vertical distance covered by the ladder, you can use the slope and run values given. The slope is the vertical change divided by the horizontal change.
Given:
Slope = 16
Run = 3m
To find the vertical distance covered by the ladder (Vertical Change), you can use the formula:
Vertical Change = Slope × Run
Substituting the given values:
Vertical Change = 16 × 3m
Vertical Change = 48m
Therefore, the vertical distance covered by the ladder is 48 meters.
To calculate the vertical distance covered by the ladder, we can use the formula for slope:
slope = vertical distance / horizontal distance
Given that the slope is 16/3 and the horizontal distance (run) is 3 m, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the vertical distance.
16/3 = vertical distance / 3
To solve for the vertical distance, we can cross multiply:
16 * 3 = 3 * vertical distance
48 = 3 * vertical distance
48/3 = vertical distance
Therefore, the vertical distance covered by the ladder is 16 meters.
