The roof of a lean-to garden shed has a gradient of 0.35. Find the height of the shed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have given the slope. We also need the depth.

OpenStudy (loser66):

@douglaswinslowcooper how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the depth of the lean-to is 10 feet and the gradient is 0.35 = 3.5 ft/10ft, then the height of the front is 3.5 ft.

OpenStudy (loser66):

But you said "IF" :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is why I wrote that you lacked an important piece of data.

OpenStudy (loser66):

got you.XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, sorry, forgot to write that in~ Anyway, the width is 1.5m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the width is 1.5m, then the height is (0.35)(width) = well, you know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What a bubble brain, I completely forgot such a basic thing, haha. Anyway, thanks! :)

You are welcome. Sometimes the pressure here gets intense!
