Question 90916
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.
