Question 79543: Can someone please help me with this problem? It is due today.
Technology. Driving down a mountain, Tom finds that he has descended 1800 ft in evevation by thr time he is 3.25 mi horizontally away from the top of the mountain. Find the slop of his descent to the nearest hundredth. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! His vertical change is 1800 ft.
His horizontal change is 3.25*5280 ft = 17160 ft.
--------
The slope is 1800/17160=0.1049
