Which hill described in the table is the steepest and why? (1 point)
Street. Horizontal Distance (ft). Vertical Rise of Street (ft)
Dixie Hill. 100. 60
Bell Hill 100 50
Liberty Hill 100 20
Dixie Hill; it rises 5 feet for every 3 feet of horizontal travel. Dixie Hill; it rises foot for every 1 foot of horizontal travel.
Bell Hill; it rises 2 feet for every 1 foot of horizontal travel. Liberty Hill; it rises 1 foot for every 5 feet of horizontal travel.
I need help As Soon As Possible!!
divide the vertical rise by the horizontal distance (slope = rise/run)
now you can see which has the steepest slope.
To determine which hill is the steepest, we need to compare the ratios of vertical rise to horizontal distance for each hill.
For Dixie Hill, the ratio is 60 ft/100 ft = 0.6 ft/ft.
For Bell Hill, the ratio is 50 ft/100 ft = 0.5 ft/ft.
For Liberty Hill, the ratio is 20 ft/100 ft = 0.2 ft/ft.
From these ratios, we can see that Dixie Hill has the steepest slope because it rises 0.6 feet for every 1 foot of horizontal travel. The other two hills, Bell Hill and Liberty Hill, have less steep slopes as they rise less for every 1 foot of horizontal travel.
Therefore, Dixie Hill is the steepest hill in the table.
