A roof rises 8.5 ft over a horizontal distance of 18.02ft. what is the slope of the roof to the nearest hundredth?

8.5/18.02 = ??

-0.126/-0.9

To find the slope of the roof, we need to divide the rise (vertical change) by the run (horizontal change).

Given:
Rise = 8.5 ft
Run = 18.02 ft

To calculate the slope, we use the formula:

slope = rise / run

Plugging in the values:
slope = 8.5 ft / 18.02 ft

To find the slope to the nearest hundredth, we can round the result to two decimal places.

Calculating the slope:
slope ≈ 0.4719

Therefore, the slope of the roof to the nearest hundredth is approximately 0.47.
