Caitlin is designing a railing for a set of stairs. The railing will begin at a height of 36 inches and follow the slant of the stairs, which decreases 9 inches for every 12 horizontal inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Height = 36 inches

Stant of the stairs followed that declines 9 inches for every 12 horizontal inches

Height = x

x =  from top of the stairs

based on the above information

Therefore the change in rate is

It depicts the line sloping.

Now the function would be determined by the line equation which is as follows

y = mx+c

where,

c = 36 inches

So, the function is

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
