Answer:

0.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent.

tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent.

Where:

Opposite = Height /Length of the ramp = ?

Adjacent = Distance from the base of the ramp = 4 feet

θ = 8.1°

Therefore,

tan 8.1° = x/4

Cross Multiply

x = tan 8.1 × 4

x = 0.5692843028 feet

Approximately = 0.6 feet

Length of the ramp = 0.6 feet.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step segment dc bisects segment ab, then point d is equidistant from points a and b because a point on a perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment it intersects. if segment dc bisects segment ab, then point d is equidistant from points a and b because congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent. if segment ad bisects segment ab, then point d is equidistant from points a and b because a point on a perpendicular bisector is equidistant from:
