Answer:

[tex]Slope = 1.57[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Height = 230.38\ m[/tex]

[tex]Base = 146.5\ m[/tex]

Required

Determine the slope

Slope is calculated as thus:

[tex]Slope = Rise/Run[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]Rise = Height = 230.38 m[/tex]

[tex]Run = Base = 146.5 m[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Slope = 230.38 / 146.5[/tex]

[tex]Slope = 1.57[/tex] (approximated)
