Question

The seats at a football stadium are on a slope with gradient of 1/2. What is the height of the bottom seats?

Answer 1

ANS IS 2m

Explanation:

we can solve it by using coordinate geometry

Answer 2

Height of the bottom seats is 2 meter.

Explanation:

It has been given in the question seats are located on a slope having gradient
`(1)/(2)`

We have to find the height h of the bottom seats.

Since gradient =
`tan\theta=(1)/(2)`

Therefore, from the figure attached,

`tan\theta =((12-h))/(20)`

`(1)/(2)=((12-h))/(20)`

12 - h =
`(20)/(2)`

12 - h = 10

h = 12 - 10

h = 2 m

Therefore, height of the bottom seats if 2 m.
