Question

A ramp rises 2.9 ft vertically and extends 58 At horizontally. Find the slope of the ramp.​

Answer 1

The slope of the ramp is 2.86 degrees to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

tan x = 2.9 / 58 = 0.05 where x is the angle of the slope.

x = 2.86 degrees to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 2

0.05

Explanation:

The formula for slope is rise/run.

So, in this case it would be 2.9ft/58ft = 0.05
