Which of the following situations would exist when the slope is referred as 100 percent ?
Answer: B
A 100 percent slope means the horizontal distance is the same as the vertical difference.
Percentage slope is the vertical rise (rise) divided by the horizontal distance (run), multiplied by 100.
\[ \text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \times 100 \]
\[ \frac{100}{100} \times 100 = 100\% \]
So a 100 percent slope rises 100 m in 100 m of horizontal distance, an angle of 45°. A horizontal distance double the rise gives 50 percent, half the rise gives 200 percent, and ten times the rise gives 10 percent, so the other options are wrong.
