Question

A ski slope is 1 km long and has an average slope of

13.4, what is the height of the mountain to the nearest metre?

Answer 1

13400 m

Explanation:

The slope is defined as:

`Slope=(Rise)/(Run)`

Substitute slope=13.4, Run=1 km=1000 m :

`13.4=(Rise)/(1000)`

Solve for Rise:

`Rise=13.4\cdot 1000=13400 ~m`
