Mr. Fawcett is building a ramp for loading motorcycles onto a trailer.
The trailer is 2.8 feet off the ground.
To avoid making it too difficult to
push a motorcycle off the ramp, Mr.
Fawcett decides to make the angle
between the ramp and the ground
15°. To the nearest hundredth of a
foot, find the length of the ramp.

whats the question?

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
