the roof of the school has a rise of 3.6 meters and a run of 12 meters. what is the slope/pitch of the roof?

The slope will be:

slope = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the slope of a certain line is basically the measure of its steepness.

Mathematically, the slope can be calculated as 'rise over run'.

In other words, the 'rise' is 'change in y', and 'run' is 'change in x'.

Given

The roof of the school has a rise = 3.6 meters = rise = change in y

The  roof of the school has a run = 12 meters = run = change in x

So the slope will be:

slope = rise ÷ run

         = 3.6 ÷ 12

         = 0.3         ∵( 3.6 ÷ 12 = 0.3)

Therefore, the slope will be:

slope = 0.3

answer: the resulting cross section is a rectangle. solution: a plane parallel to the base of a triangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its bases. so the cross section is a triangle.
