What is the length measured along the slope and how did you do it if a right triangle has a vertical height of 3.2' a 40' horizontal distance and an 8 percent slope?

Slope is rise divided by run and percent is rise divided by run then multiply by 100 to change to % slope. As a check to your data, (3.2/40)*100 does equal 8%, so it is confirmed correct. You simply have a right triangle with height of 3.2, length of 40, and the length of the hypotenuse needs to be found to answer the question. The solution is sqrt(3.22+402) which is 40.1278 ft.

When you graph the motion of an object you put what on the horizontal and the what on the vertical axis?
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
A single point on a distance time graph tells the?
The vertical axis gives the distance of an object from a fixed point - the point of reference - after a time, as measured on the horizontal axis.
What is measured on a vertical axis what is measured on a horizontal axis?
If one of the two variables is independent (or explanatory) then it goes on the horizontal axis. Otherwise you do whatever you like.
What is the vertical distance from 9 to 135?
On a horizontal number line, the distance is 0!
If the connecting segment is neither horizontal nor vertical you can form a?
right triangle
Is longitude horizontal?
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.

How is the horizontal component of velocity for a projectile affected by the vertical component?
The horizontal component of velocity for a projectile is not affected by the vertical component at all. Horizontal component is measured as xcos(theta) Vertical component is measured as xsin(theta) Whereas theta is the angle, and x is the magnitude, or initial speed.
What is measured on a vertical axis what is measured on a horizontal axis?
If one of the two variables is independent (or explanatory) then it goes on the horizontal axis. Otherwise you do whatever you like.
Explain why only the vertical height of the stairs is measured for work?
Horizontal motion doesn't require any force.Horizontal work = (force) x (distance) = 0.
What is the ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance?
It is a measure of the average gradient or slope.
What is the vertical distance from 9 to 135?
On a horizontal number line, the distance is 0!
If the connecting segment is neither horizontal nor vertical you can form a?
right triangle
For line graphs and bar graphs the values measured by the vertical axis depend on the values measured by the axis?
