60
Which hill described in the table is the steepest? Explain.
(1 point)
Bell Hill; it riges one foot for every 4 feet of horizontal travel
• Dixie Hill; it rises 2 feet for every 1 foot of horizontal travel.
• Liberty Hill; it rises 4 feet for every 3 feet of horizontal travel.
• Liberty Hill; it rises 3/4 foot for every 1 foot horizontal travel

Answer 1

Liberty Hill is the steepest because it rises 4 feet for every 3 feet of horizontal travel. This means that for every 3 feet traveled on Liberty Hill, the height increases by 4 feet, which is a greater slope or incline compared to the other hills.

Answer 2

Is this correct? If so please provide an explanation

Answer 3

No, my previous response was not correct. I apologize for the confusion. To determine which hill is the steepest, we need to calculate the rise-to-run ratio for each hill.

For Dixie Hill, the rise is 2 feet and the horizontal distance is 1 foot. So the rise-to-run ratio is 2/1, which simplifies to 2.

For Bell Hill, the rise is 20 feet and the horizontal distance is 80 feet. So the rise-to-run ratio is 20/80, which simplifies to 1/4.

For Liberty Hill, the rise is 60 feet and the horizontal distance is 80 feet. So the rise-to-run ratio is 60/80, which simplifies to 3/4.

Therefore, the steepest hill is Liberty Hill because its rise-to-run ratio of 3/4 is the largest among the three hills.
