Answer:

The new ramp must be 54 inches long than the old ramp to meet the requirement of the new law

Step-by-step explanation:

Old height to length ratio is:

h : l =  2 : 15.

Height of old ramp h = 12

Length of old ramp can be find out by putting h  = 12 in the above ratio

\frac{h}{l}  = \frac{2}{15}\\\\h = 12\\\\\frac{12}{l} = \frac{2}{15}\\\\l = 90

Length of old ramp = 90

Height to length ratio by current law:

h : l = 1 : 12

Height will be the same i.e. h = 12

\frac{h}{l}  = \frac{1}{12}\\\\h = 12\\\\\frac{12}{l} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\l = 144

Length of new ramp = 144

How much longer the new ramp should be to meet the new ratio law:

New length - Old length = 144 - 90 = 54 inches

Answer:

Hope this helps!!

Step-by-step explanation:

2ya and 2yb where a and b have no common factors and a and b are polynomaals

a=(x+2)(x+3)

b=(x+4)(x+5)

no common factors betwen a and b

so

2ya=2y(x+2)(x+3)=2yx²+10xy+12y

2yb=2y(x+4)(x+5)=2yx²+18xy+40y

the 2 polynomials  are  2yx²+18xy+40y and 2yx²+10xy+12y
