Modeling a -1/4 Drainage Grade for Site Planning
A civil engineering intern is using a geoboard to model a drainage slope for a new construction site. The required slope for the grade is -1/4. Describe the specific, step-by-step physical actions the intern must take on the geoboard to accurately represent this slope, beginning with the selection of the starting peg and including the direction and distance of the movements for the rise and run.
