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 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We have to find the height h of the bottom seats.
Since gradient = [tex]tan\theta=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, from the figure attached,
[tex]tan\theta =\frac{(12-h)}{20}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(12-h)}{20}[/tex]
12 - h = [tex]\frac{20}{2}[/tex]
12 - h = 10
h = 12 - 10
h = 2 m
Therefore, height of the bottom seats if 2 m.
