Question

The roof of a factory rises vertically 7 ft through a horizontal run of 42 ft. What is the pitch of the roof?

Answer 1

The pitch is
`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

"Pitch" will use rise-over-run, in other words, the height divided by the length.

7 ft / 42 ft =
`(1)/(6)`

Answer 2

1/6 ft

Explanation:

the pitch of the roof = slope of the roof

slope = rise / run = 7 / 42 = 1/ 6 ft
