On a topographic map the contour interval is \(5\text{ m}\). A hill has a summit marked with a spot height of \(250\text{ m}\). The nearest closed contour around the summit is the \(240\text{ m}\) contour, which is approximately circular with a radius of \(30\text{ m}\). (a) Estimate the average slope angle (in degrees) from the summit to the \(240\text{ m}\) contour, assuming a straight‑line radial distance. (b) State whether this slope exceeds \(30^{\circ}\), the limit generally considered steep for agricultural use.
