A curb is 4 inches high. The ramp from the sidewalk yo the street follows the same guidelines as other Ramos (no more than 4.8 d

egrees, so a 1:12 ratio of vertical to horizontal). What is the horizontal distance for a ramp with a 4 inch vertical distance?

Answer:

<h2>48 inches.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

The height of a curb is 4 inches. So, the ramp has a height of 4 inches.
The ratio between vertical and horizontal distance of the ramp is 1:12.

Accoriding to the given ration, one unit of vertical distance is equivalent to 12 units of horizontal distance. So, the horizontal distance is

$h=12(4 \ in)=48 \ in$

Therefore, the horizontal distance is 48 inches.

Answer:

$h = 12$

$x = 9$

$y= 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find h, x and y

Let the base of the triangle be 15.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 15 * 20$

$i.e\ height = 20$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 300$

$A = 150$

Let the base of the triangle be 25.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25 * h$

$i.e\ height = h$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25h$

Substitute $A = 150$

$\frac{1}{2}*25h = 150$

Solve for h

$h = \frac{150 *2}{25}$

$h = 6 *2$

$h = 12$

Considering the smallest triangle

$Hypotenuse = 15$

So:

$15^2 = h^2 + x^2$

$15^2 = 12^2 + x^2$

This gives:

$15^2 - 12^2 = x^2$

$81 = x^2$

Take square roots

$9 =x$

$x = 9$

Solving for y

$x + y = 25$

$y= 25 - x$

$y= 25 - 9$

$y= 16$

(40x9)÷(4x8)=x solve for variable of x

nikklg [1K]

The answer is: " x = 11 ¼ " ; or write as: " x = 11.25 " .
_________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________
(40*9) ÷ (4*8) = x ; Solve for "x" ;

(40 * 9 = 360) .

(4 * 8 = 32) .

(360) ÷ (32) = 45/4 = 11 ¼ ; or write as: 11.25 .
