What is the relationship between the slope and the pythagorean theorem?

There is no relationship between slope and the theorem, however the theorem does deal with the relationship between angles and sides of a triangle.


What is the slope of an outdoor basketball court?

during construction our basketball court(outdoor) it was felt that a minimum slope of 1:1000 may be provided transversely and a minimum slope of 1:500 may be provided longitudinally to drain off the rain water. and the slope may be adjusted according to the rainfall intensity at that area


Why do angles in a right triangle always have the same slope ratio?

They don't. If they did then trigonometry would be virtually non-existent.


Inventor of clinometer?

The Clinometer was invented in 1927 by Charles Lindberg. This device is used to measure angles of slope, elevation, and depression.


What is a z angle?

When two parallel lines are intersected by a transverse line, they form eight angles. You can consider the parallel lines as the horizontal lines of the letter Z and the transversal as the sloped line of Z. Then the two angles in that Z-shape are the Z angles. The transversal for Z-angles can slope either way. It can be proved that Z-angles, properly called ALTERNATE angles, are equal.


What shape do Hawaiian volcanoes have?

They are shield volcanoes. This means that they are cone shaped but with very shallow slope angles forming the volcanoes flank.


Are two lines with the same slope and different y-intercept perpendiculars?

No because two lines with the same slope but with different y intercepts are parallel lines. Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles.


What angles lines and rays have that points don't have?

"A point is that which has no part" --Euclid All points are identical -- they only have location (usually in the form of X/Y coordinates), no other properties. Angles also have magnitude (how wide they are, in degrees or radians) and lines have slope. Rays have slope, as well as a single endpoint (they are "half of a line" so to speak). Line segments have two endpoints.


What is does pendicular mean in maths?

Perpendicular, or "normal", means that two lines meet at right angles. The two lines cross in such a way that they form 4 equal angles between them.If you work with coordinates, the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines are minus 1. For example, if a certain line has a slope of 2, another line, perpendicular to it, will have a slope of -1/2.


What is a slope of a graph?

Did you mean the slope of a line/parabola/etc.? A slope, in its simplest terms, is how much a line angles away from the horizontal. It describes the steepness, sense, and incline of a line.Finding the slope of a line requires two distinct point ON a line. It's given by the equation: a = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where a is the slope, (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the first point, and (x2,y2) the coordinates of the second point. An equation for a straight line is usually represented as y = a*x + b; you could extract the slope by simply looking at the given values of a (the slope).Finding the slope of a curve (parabola, etc.) is taken at the tangent point. As you move along the curve, the slope changes (i.e the slope is NOT constant). The slope of a curve can be found by taking the derivative of the function that defines the curve. After derivation, you just plug in the values of x at where you want to find the slope at.
