Question
The water slide is 6 feet tall, and the end of the slide is 9 feet from the base of the ladder. About what slope does the slide have?
- 9
- 6
Hint:
The slope of an object is the ratio of the rise to the run. It measures the degree of steepness of an object or a projection . In this question, we have to find the slope of the slide if height of water slide is 6 feet and horizontal length is 9 feet. So, by using the formula Slope = Rise / Run we can find the slope of the slide.
The correct answer is:
Slope = Rise / Run
Height of water slide = Rise =6 feet
Horizontal length = Run = 9 feet
Hence, Slope = 6/9=2/3
Therefore, the slope of the water slope ls 2/3.
