Answer:

11.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a triangle to represent the problem. (See the one attached.)

The sides involved in this problem are the opposite and adjacent to the given angle, so we need to use the tangent ratio.

To find the length of the ramp, we need to find the tangent of angle 15.

tanx = opp/adj

tan15 = 3/x

Multiply by x on both sides:

x(tan15) = (3/x)x

x(tan15) = 3

Divide by tan15 on both sides:

x(tan15) = 3

/tan15      /tan15

x = 3/tan15

Divide tan15 from 3 using a calculator:

x ≈ 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given her income is $27,267, she falls under the 10% and 12% brackets with the following boundaries as attached.

-Her tax is then calculated as;

#10% bracket;

Tax=Taxable \ Income \times Tax \ Rate\\\\=9700\times 10\%\\\\\\=\$970.00

#12% Tax bracket:

Tax=Taxable \ Income \times Tax \ Rate\\\\=(27267-9700)\times 12\%\\\\\\=\$2108.04

The total tax=970+2108.04=$3,078.04

Hence, Lynn owes $3,078.04 in taxes.
