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?
[tex]Slope\text{ =}\frac{rise}{run}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} Rise\text{ =122-68=54 feet} \\ Run=4.5yards=13.5feet \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\therefore Slope=\frac{54}{13.5}=4feet[/tex]
Final answer:
