What is the slope if the base is 60 inches wide and 40 inches high?
Slope = Height/Base = 40/60 = 2/3
How do you find the base of a triangle if you know height and slope?
You cannot since the information is not sufficient. Furthermore, a triangle does not normally have a slope.
How do you find the slope of a line on a xy coordinate plane?
Form a right angle triangle under the slope and divide the base of the triangle into the height of the triangle.
What is the definition of slope?
Slope is the steepness of a line. From my high school math days, I remember that slope equals rise over run. Think of the sloping line as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and the base is sitting on the x-coordinate. Rise is the length of the vertical leg of the triangle, and run is the length of the horizontal leg. Do the division, rise divided by run, and you have a measure of the slope. You might have to pay careful attention to positives and negatives. If it's a straight line you don't have to worry about how long you make the base; the ratio (the answer to a division problem) will be the same.
What is the base of a cylinder called?
The base of a cylinder is called a circular base. It is a flat, circular surface that forms the top and bottom of the cylinder.
What is rocky debris?
A pile of stones that were once part of a large boulder, or talus at the base of a mountain. Scree or rubble volcanic debris is called cinders
Is there a base word for debris?
Yes, the base word for debris is "debr-" which comes from the French word "débris" meaning remains or fragments.
During extensive frost wedging a large pile of rocks accumulates at the base of the cliff what is this pile called?
detrital slope
What is the slope if the base is 60 inches wide and 40 inches high?
Slope = Height/Base = 40/60 = 2/3
What lies at the base of the continental slope?
continental rise
What term describes an accumulation of angular rock fragments at the base of a steep bedrock slope or cliff?
Talus Slope.
When a base is mixed with a base it forms?
A stronger base.
What slope base does a Shield volcano have?
huge gently slopes
How do you find the base of a triangle if you know height and slope?
You cannot since the information is not sufficient. Furthermore, a triangle does not normally have a slope.
What Material accumulates at the bottom of a steep slope?
The rock fragments that accumulate at the base if a steep slope are usually known as scree or talus.
Why is the slope more gentle at the base of a mesa?
A mesa is, in general, an area of flat-topped land with fairly steeply sloped sides. As the sides of a mesa weather and erode, material will accumulate along the base of the slopes. This will decrease the steepness of the slope at the base.
What is the foam at the bottom of a waterfall called?
the foams are called "turbulent rollers" and form when a shooting (fast moving stream which cascades over a steep drop) deposits at the base, where large debris is left as the river lessens its load.
