Answer:

12.58 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ron wants to build a 14 ft. ramp with an angle of the rise of 26° and the height of the ramp is about 6.1 ft.

We have to find out the length of the base of the ramp.

Now, the ramp forms a right triangle with the base and the height and here, the hypotenuse of the triangle is the ramp itself i.e. 14 ft.

If the base length is x feet, then we can write using the trigonometry

\cos 26^{\circ} =  \frac{\textrm{Base}}{\textrm {Hypotenuse}} = \frac{x}{14}

⇒ x = 14 cos 26° = 12.58 feet. (Answer)

This is a combination problem requiring a combination solution with the following formula and steps:

C (n, r) =? C (n, r) = ?

n choose r

n (objects) =  16

r (sample) =  5

C (n, r) =? C (n, r) = ?

C (n, r) =C (14,5) C (n, r) =C (16,5)

=16! (5! (16−5)!) =16! (5! (16−5)!)

= 4368
