SOLUTION

Given:

A blueprint of a shopping complex shows the bottom edge of the roof to be 68 feet above the ground. If the roof rises to a point 122 feet above the ground over a horizontal distance of 4.5 yards, what is the slope of the roof?


Slope\text{ =}(rise)/(run)
\begin{gathered} Rise\text{ =122-68=54 feet} \\ Run=4.5yards=13.5feet \end{gathered}
\therefore Slope=(54)/(13.5)=4feet

Final answer:

A blueprint of a shopping complex shows the bottom edge of the roof to be 68 feet-example-1
