What is the slope of this skateboard ramp if it rises 1.2 meters above the ground and runs 4 meters horizontally at the base?

By definition, the slope is the inclination of a line in relation to the horizontal. It can be expressed in degrees, ratios and even in percent. Therefore, you can calculate it by applying the following formula:

P%=(H/L)x100

P% is the slope expressed in percent.
H is the height (H=1.2 meters).
L is the length (L=4 meters).

When you substitute these values into the formula P%=(H/L)x100, you obtain the slope of the skateboard ramp:

P%=(H/L)x100
P%=(1.2 meter/4 meters)x100
P%=0.30x100
P%=30%

A courtyard has three walls with widths

wariber [46]

Using the greatest common factor, it is found that the greatest dimensions each tile can have is of 3 feet.

---------------------------

The widths of the walls are of <u>27 feet, 18 feet and 30 feet.</u>
<u>The tiles must fit the width of each wall</u>, thus, the greatest dimension they can have is the greatest common factor of 27, 18 and 30.

To find their greatest common factor, these numbers must be factored into prime factors simultaneously, that is, only being divided by numbers of which all three are divisible, thus:

27 - 18 - 30|3

9 - 6 - 10

No numbers by which all of 9, 6 and 10 are divisible, thus, gcf(27,18,30) = 3 and the greatest dimensions each tile can have is of 3 feet.
