Answer:
A) 1/20
B) H = x/20
C) 9.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Slope is the ratio of rise to run, so is ...
slope = rise/run = (1 in)/(20 in)
slope = 1/20
__
B) The maximum height is 1/20 of the horizontal distance, so ...
H = (1/20)x
__
C) Using x=190 in the above formula, ...
H = (190 in)/20 = 9.5 in
The ramp will reach a height of 9.5 inches.
