Carrie is making a temporary ramp from the ground to the top of his patio so that he can roll a cart up to it to move furniture in. The surface of the patio is 3‘9“ above the ground and Gary wants the ramp to have a slope of no more than 0.375. What is the shortest horizontal distance he can have from the base of the patio to the base of the ramp

9514 1404 393

  10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is rise/run. Using Gary's numbers, we have ...

  m = rise/run

  0.375 ≥ (3.75 ft)/run

  run ≥ (3.75 ft)/0.375

  run ≥ 10 ft

The shortest horizontal distance to the base of the ramp is 10 feet.

step-by-step explanation:

compare

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
