Exercise 93 Page 187

Which leg shows the vertical change and which shows the horizontal change?

Both are correct.
Explanation: See solution

Practice makes perfect
A slope ratio can be written as Δ y Δ x. Depending on which of the triangle's legs show the horizontal change, Δ y, and the vertical change, Δ x, both are correct. It is a question of how you orient the triangle.
