The rise and span for a roof are shown. The pitch of a roof is the ratio of the rise to the half-span. If the rise is 8 feet and

the span is 30 feet, what is the pitch in simplest form?

The pitch or slope of a roof is defined as the ration of rise and half of the span. In equation we can write:

Pitch=\frac{Rise}{Half-span}

Half-Span equals the run. So we can define the Pitch as:

Pitch = \frac{Rise}{Run}

Rise = 8 feet

Run = Half of span = 15 feet

Using the values in the above formula, we get:

Pitch = \frac{8}{15}

Therefore, the pitch (or slope) of the roof in simplest form is 8/15

Pitch is normally defined as the vertical rise of a roof for ever 12 feet increase in its horizontal run. The above fraction shows the vertical rise is 8/15 for each 1 feet increase in the horizontal run. So if we simply multiply the the above fraction by 12, we will get the pitch in standard units.

So,

Pitch = 8/15 x 12 = 6.4

Therefore, the pitch of the roof will be 6.4

<span>Half-span is half of span. Pitch of the roof is calculated as rise/(span/2). In this case, rise is 8 feet and span is 30 feet. So, the pitch can be calculated as 8/(30/2) or 8/15. Pitch is normally represented as the number of inches of rise per foot. So, to reduce 8/15 to match a foot, we multiply it by 12. So, (8/15) * 12 gives us 6.4 inches of rise per foot.</span>

mixer [17]

Answer:

$11,728

Step-by-step explanation:

Twice a year, for 4 years is 8 times

516×8 = 4128

Yearly for 4 years is 4 times

700×4 = 2800

Every month for 4 years is 48 times

100×48 = 4800

Minimum expenditure:

4128 + 2800 + 4800 = $11,728

Given the following diagram, find the missing measure.<br>*​
BigorU [14]

Option C:

x = 30

Solution:

The given image is a triangle.

angle 1, angle 2 and angle 3 are interior angles of a triangle.

angle 4 is the exterior angle of a triangle.

m∠4 = 2x°, m\angle2=\frac{4}{3}x^\circ, m∠3 = 20°

Exterior angle theorem:

<em>In triangle, the measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.</em>

By this theorem,

m∠4 = m∠2 + m∠3

$2x^\circ=\frac{4}{3}x^\circ+20^\circ

Subtract \frac{4}{3}x^\circ on both sides of the equation.

$2x^\circ-\frac{4}{3}x^\circ=20^\circ

To make the denominator same and then subtract.

$\frac{6}{3}x^\circ -\frac{4}{3}x^\circ=20^\circ

$\frac{2}{3}x^\circ =20^\circ

Multiply by \frac{3}{2} on both sides of the equation.

x° = 30°

x = 30

Hence option C is the correct answer.
