In this pattern , the numbers are doubling..
2,4,6,8,10...
0.48 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
It is given that the grade(slope) is 4%. This means that for every 100 miles traveled, the elevation changes by 4 miles.
Step 2
Hence for a distance of 12 miles , the elevation changes by 12*4/100 = 48/100 = 0.48 miles. [Using direct proportion]
The answer is 5.83
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the 3rd side length.
a^2+b^2=c^2
3^2+5^2=c^2
