Answer: okay
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle Area = .5 * base * height
Triangle Area = .5*15*12
Triangle Area = 90
Answer:
1 meter of rise over 3 meters distance
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is the rise / run ratio
1/3 slope means 1 meter of rise over 3 meters long section (or other unit of length)
For the answer to the question above, this is a right triangle problem using the tangent function.
<span>Tan(x) = Opposite (O) / Adjacent (A) </span>
<span>x = 40 degrees </span>
<span>A = 30 ft </span>
<span>Solve for O </span>
<span>O= Tan (x) * A </span>
<span>O = Tan (40) * 30 </span>
<span>Use your calculator or whatever method to get the tangent of 40 degrees (which is .84) </span>
<span>O = .84 * 30 </span>
<span>O = 25.2 Ft</span>
