A course for cross-country skiing is regulated so that the slpoe of any hill cannot be greater than 0.33. Suppose a hill rises 60 meters over a horizontal distance of 250 meters. Does the hill meet the requirement? Show all work.
----------------
Comment: slope = 0.33 means vertical rise of 33 m for every 100 m of
horizontal change.
-----------------
Your Problem:
slope of your hill = 60 m/250 m = 0.24
The hill meets the requirement.

USING THE GRAPHING TECHNIQUE THUS:
THE STARTING POINT IS(0,0) THE HORIZONTAL DIATANCE IS @ (250,0) & THE TOP OF THE HILL IS @ (250,60).
USING THESE STARTING POINT (0,0) & THE TOP OF THE HILL(250,60) WE CAN CALCULATE THE SLOPE THUS
(60-0)/(250-0)=60/250=.24 IS THE SLOPE OF THIS HILL WHICH IS LESS THAN THE MAX REQUIREMENT OF .33.
