We know that

1 ft--------> is equals to 12 in
the ramp is 12 inches tall----------> 1 ft tall
<span>A ramp measures------------------>  6 ft long
</span>
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
</span>c²=a²+b²
where
c-----> 6 ft long
a----> horizontal distance
b-----> 1 ft tall

a²=c²-b²------> a²=6²-1²-----> a²=35------> a=√35------> a=5.92 ft

the answer is
5.92 ft

Which best describes the relationship between the successive terms in the sequence shown?
Alex Ar [27]

Given series is 2.4,-4.8,9.6,-19.2

To find whether it has common difference or common ratio let us find few differences and few ratios of consecutive terms.

Common difference of first 2 terms = 2nd term - first term = -4.8-2.4 = -7.2

Common difference of 2nd and 3rd terms = 3rd term - 2nd term = 9.6-(-4.8) = 14.4

Since those common differences are not equal the given series does not have common difference at all.

To check if it has common ratio or not let us find few ratios of consecutive terms.

Common ratio of first 2 terms = \frac{2nd term}{first term} = \frac{-4.8}{2.4} = -2

Common ratio of 2nd and 3rd terms = \frac{3rd term}{2nd term} = \frac{9.6}{-4.8} = -2.0

So, the given series has common ratio as -2.0

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 1/2x - 4 and that passes through the point (9, -6)
timofeeve [1]
//To have the lines parallel, the gradients must be the same.

y -- 6 = 1/2 (x - 9)
y + 6 = 1/2 x -9/2
y = 1/2 x - 10.5
