Answer: ∆h = 0.16km = 160m

The Change in elevation is 0.16km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Change in elevation m= 8% = 0.08

Which means for every 100 units change in horizontal distance there would be 8 units change in elevation.

Horizontal distance of road x= 2km

Using the equation;

∆h = mx

Where ∆h = change in elevation

∆h = 0.08 × 2km

∆h = 0.16km = 160m

Answer:

0.16km

Step-by-step explanation:

A highway engineer wants to compute  the change in elevation of a section of road. The horizontal distance of this section of road is 2km and downgrade is 8%

The slope formula is given by

m=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{x}{y}

m = 8% = 8/100

run = y = 2km

m =\frac{x}{y}

\frac{8}{100} =\frac{x}{2}

\frac{2*8}{100} =x

x=\frac{16}{100} =0.16km

Verification:

m=\frac{0.16}{2}= 0.08=8%%
