a ramp measures 6 feet long. if the ramp is 12 inches tall, what is the horizontal distance it covers? i'll give brainliest to whoever answers first/correctly!

1 ft is equals to 12 in

the ramp is 12 inches tall 1 ft tall

A ramp measures 6 ft long

applying the Pythagorean theorem

c²=a²+b²

where

c =6 ft long

a = horizontal distance

b = 1 ft tall

Horizontal distance = 5.92 ft

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
