Question:A roof rises 8.75 ft. over a horizontal distance of 15.09 ft. Find the slope of roof to the nearest hundredth?

Thank you everyone!

Answers:
slope is determined by figuring how many inches it rises per foot of length yours is 1.7245 inches of rise for every 12 inches in length..


1.72
Rise over run...you do the rest...
Height = 8.75
Width = 15.1

Width divide by 2 = 7.5
H + W /2 = 15.8 / 2 = 7.90
do your own homework
Slope or pitch is 51deg,rise per foot of run is about 1.232
Roof angle = 57.293 degrees.
