Question 189472: From a base elevation of 8400ft a mountain peak in Colorado rises to a summit elevation of 14856 over a horizontal distance of 15849ft, find the grade. I am having trouble determining how to set this equation up. Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! From a base elevation of 8400ft a mountain peak in Colorado rises to a summit
elevation of 14856 over a horizontal distance of 15849ft, find the grade.
I am having trouble determining how to set this equation up.
:
Find the height of the mountain from the base: 14856 - 8400 = 6456 ft
:
% grade = * 100 = 40.7% grade
