Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is unclear from the phrasing what dimension 8.2 ft represents.
If 8.2 ft is the direct distance from the edge of the roof to the top of the pitch, then the <em>horizontal</em> distance from the edge to the top is √(8.2²-2.4²) ≅ 7.84 ft, and the slope is 2.4/7.84 ≅ 0.31
If 8.2 ft is the <em>horizontal </em>distance from the edge of the root to the top of the pitch, then the slope is 2.4/8.2 ≅ 0.29
