The image of the ramp with dimensions is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
680 in² of wood is needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to find how much wood would be needed by devon would be to find the total surface area of the ramp.
From the attached image,
Let's find the area of the 2 triangles first;
A1 = 2(½bh) = bh = 15 x 8 = 120 in²
Area of the slant rectangular portion;
A2 = 17 x 14 = 238 in²
Area of the base;
A3 = 15 × 14 = 210 in²
Area of vertical rectangle;
A4 = 8 × 14 = 112 in²
Total Surface Area = A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 = 120 + 238 + 210 + 112 = 680 in²
