Mountain climber Joe climb to a mountain peak that was 1200 feet above its base and 1500 feet east of it base , mountain climber Bob climbed to a mountain peak that was 900 feet above its base in 1000 feet east of its base who climbed a steeper mountain

Respuesta :

To find steeper mountain for Joe and Bob, we have to find the ratio of peak of mountain and base. Thus, the slope rise by both climber are [tex]\frac{4}{5}\;\amp;\;\frac{9}{10}[/tex].

Given:

Mountain climber Joe climb to a mountain peak that was [tex]1200\;\rm{feet}[/tex] above its base and [tex]1500\;\rm{feet}[/tex] east of it base.

According to the question, Joe climbed a mountain with a rise of 1200 feet  and a run of 1500 feet.

So, the slope would be 1200 over 1500 that can calculated as,

[tex]\frac{1200}{1500} =\frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Now, Bob climbed to a mountain peak that was 9000 feet above its base in 1000 feet east of its base who climbed a steeper mountain.

So, the slope would be  900 over 1000 that can calculated as,

[tex]\frac{900}{1000} =\frac{9}{10}=\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Hence, slope rise by both climber are [tex]\frac{4}{5}\;\amp;\;\frac{9}{10}[/tex].

Bob climb more steeper mountain than the Joe and this can be determine by first evaluate the slope of each mountain and than compare both the slope.

Given :

  • Joe climb to a mountain peak that was 1200 feet above its base and 1500 feet east of it base.
  • Bob climbed to a mountain peak that was 900 feet above its base in 1000 feet east of its base.

Slope has to be determine to find which climber climbed a steeper mountain. So, mountain climber Joe climb to a mountain peak that was 1200 feet above its base and 1500 feet east of it base therefore, the slope of the mountain will be:

[tex]\rm Slope = m_1 = \dfrac{1200}{1500}[/tex]

[tex]\rm m_1 = \dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

Now, mountain climber Bob climbed to a mountain peak that was 900 feet above its base in 1000 feet east of its base therefore, the slope of the mountain will be:

[tex]\rm Slope = m_2 = \dfrac{900}{1000}[/tex]

[tex]\rm m_2 = \dfrac{9}{10}[/tex]

From the above calculation it can concluded that [tex]m_2 > m_1[/tex]. Therefore, Bob mountain is more steeper than the Joe mountain.
