Question

The pitch of a roof is found the same way as the slope of a line. What is the pitch of a roof that has a height of 9 ft and a horizontal run of 7

Answer 1

9/7

Explanation:

Since the pitch is found the same way as the slope of a line

Tangent= slope = pitch

But; Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent

Therefore;

Tan x = 9/7

Thus;

The pitch of the roof is 9/7
