Answer:
8 feet to 15 feet or [tex]\dfrac{8}{15}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that pitch is is the ratio of the rise to the half-span.
It is given that, the rise is 8 feet and the span is 30 feet.
[tex]\text{Half of span}=\dfrac{30}{2}=15[/tex]
We need to find the pitch in simplest form.
[tex]Pitch=\dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Half-span}}[/tex]
[tex]Pitch=\dfrac{8}{15}[/tex]
Therefore, the pitch in simplest form is 8 feet to 15 feet or [tex]\dfrac{8}{15}[/tex].
