Two separate sections of a roof have the same slope. If the rise and run on one
section are, respectively, 3.0 m and 6.9 m, what is the run on the other section if its
rise is 2.8m?

Respuesta :

The run on the other section if its rise is 2.8m is 6.44m

Shapes or figures are known to be similar if the ratio of their sides is equivalent.

The formula for calculating the slope is given asa;

Slope = rise/run

Let the run of the other section be x such that if the rise and run on one

section are, respectively, 3.0 m and 6.9 m and the rise of other section is 2.8m then;

3.0/6.9 = 2.8/x

Cross multiply'

3.0x = 6.9 * 2.8
3.0x = 19.32/3

x = 6.44m

Hence the run on the other section if its rise is 2.8m is 6.44m
