Answer:
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 = 8% = 8/100
run = y = 2km

To solve this, you can set up an equation. Make the length of the shortest side x, so the 2 sides double the length will equal 2x. Since they all equal the perimeter of 36, do x + 2x + 2x =36. These values all represent the sides(2 longer, one short). Combine like terms to get 5x=36 then divide by 5 to find the value of x. x=7.2in meaning the shorter side is 7.2 inches while the longer sides are both 14.4 inches each since they are double in size.
That is a 45 degree angle on the side
