A hydrographic survey was conducted on a reservoir to determine its capacity by contour method. The depth of water at sounding point P1 was 10.50m and its elevation at the bottom was computed to be 210.30m. A sounding point P2 at a distance of 35.45m from P1 was observed to have a depth of 3.25m and its elevation at the bottom was determined to be 217.55m. Assuming uniformity of slope from P1 to P2, determine the slope of P1 to P2. Select the correct response: 18.46% 10.45% 20.45% 15.10%
