Answer:
3:10
Step-by-step explanation:
ED:8cm,DC:10 so the air is HD:18
One number is 4 times the other, so x and 4x.
The sum of two numbers is 4x+x=70.
Solve for x to get
x=70/5=14
the other number is 4x=4*14=56
If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.
