i need this asap will mark brainilest

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we need to know the formula for the slope of the roof. The formula is the following

Pitch= Rise / Run

Slope of the roof is referred to the ratio of the vertical measurement which is the rise to horizontal measurement which is the run. Using the given above let's find the pitch of the roof.

Given: Rise= 7 ft Run= 15 ft

Slope = Rise/Run

= 7 ft / 15 ft

= 0.47

The slope is 0.47ft

hope this helped!
