An architect built a scale model of a shopping mall. On the model, a circular fountain is
20
20 inches tall and
22.5
22.5 inches in diameter. The actual fountain is to be
8

Answer:
The slope is 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Required
The slope (m)
This is calculated as"



<em>The slope is 0</em>
I think I have the diagram right.
Let ADB = x, and then BDC = x+32.
x+x+32 = 90
2x = 58
x = 29 = ADB
so BDC = 61
