Question

What is the horizontal distance from Point A to toe of slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.467 units

Explanation:

$Slope=\frac {\triangle y}{\triangle x}$

Therefore, slope being change in vertical to change in horizontal, we need to find the change in vertical

Change in vertical, $\triangle y=98.2-94.5=3.7$

$\frac {1 1/2}{1}=\frac {3.7}{\triangle x}$

$\triangle x=\frac {3.7\times 1}{1 1/2}\approx 2.467 units$
