Question

The seats at a football stadium are on a slope with gradient of 1/2. What is the height of the bottom seats?

Answer 1

Answer:

ANS IS 2m

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve it by using coordinate geometry

Answer 2

Answer:

Height of the bottom seats is 2 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in the question seats are located on a slope having gradient $\frac{1}{2}$

We have to find the height h of the bottom seats.

Since gradient = $tan\theta=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, from the figure attached,

$tan\theta =\frac{(12-h)}{20}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(12-h)}{20}$

12 - h = $\frac{20}{2}$

12 - h = 10

h = 12 - 10

h = 2 m

Therefore, height of the bottom seats if 2 m.
