Horizontal distance

The road has a gradient of 8%. How many meters will the road rise on a horizontal distance of 400m?

Result

x =  32 m

Solution:

v=400 m  x=8100⋅ v=8100⋅ 400=32=32  m v = 400 \ m \ \\ \ \\ x = \dfrac{ 8 }{ 100 } \cdot \ v = \dfrac{ 8 }{ 100 } \cdot \ 400 = 32 = 32 \ \text{ m }
