From a base elevation of 7100 ft, a moutain peak in Colorado rises to summit elevation elevation of 14,622 ft over a horizontal distance of 15,848 ft. Find the grade of the peak.

Question

saifoo.khan · Answer

G = Grade = Slope.

saifoo.khan · Answer

$$G = \frac{elevation}{\text{horizontal distance}}$$

saifoo.khan · Answer

$$ \frac{14622 - 7100}{15848}\to \frac{7522}{15848} \to \frac{3761}{7924} \to 0.475$$
