4.1.2 R & P Practice - Slope Ratios

Front

What is the slope ratio in a right triangle?

Back

The slope ratio is the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) in a right triangle.

Front

How do you calculate the slope ratio?

Back

Slope ratio = Rise / Run.

Front

If the rise is 7 and the run is 10, what is the slope ratio?

Back

The slope ratio is 7/10.

Front

What does a slope ratio of 10/7 indicate?

Back

It indicates a steeper slope compared to a slope ratio of 7/10.

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a triangle?

Back

The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

If two angles in a triangle are 70 degrees and 60 degrees, what is the third angle?

Back

The third angle is 50 degrees (180 - 70 - 60 = 50).

Front

What does it mean if x is less than 9 in a problem involving slope ratios?

Back

It means that the value of x is smaller than 9, which can affect the slope ratio.

Front

What is the relationship between slope ratios and angle measures in a triangle?

Back

Slope ratios can be used to determine the angles in a triangle based on the rise and run.

Front

If Ben's slope ratio is 7/10 and Clarissa's is 10/7, what can we conclude?

Back

Both are correct for different triangles; Ben's ratio applies to one triangle while Clarissa's applies to another.

Front

What is the significance of understanding slope ratios in geometry?

Back

Understanding slope ratios helps in solving problems related to angles, distances, and triangle properties.
