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.

Explain why only the vertical height of the stairs is measured for work?
Only the vertical height of the stairs is measured for work because it accounts for the change in potential energy associated with lifting oneself to a higher elevation against gravity. The horizontal distance does not significantly affect the amount of work done as it does not require overcoming any vertical displacement.
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 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
What is the definition of leg on a right triangle?
the two vertical and horizontal "legs" of a triangle. the other diagonal line is the hypotenuse.
If the connecting segment is neither horizontal or vertical you can form a right triangle and make the connecting segment the of the triangle?
hypotenuse
For line graphs and bar graphs the values measured by the vertical axis depend on the values measured by the axis?
horizontal
For line graphs and bar graphs the values measured by the axis depend on the values measured by the horizontal axis?
vertical
