Each step of the stairs leading from room 9 to room 107 in the Academy Building has a vertical rise of 7 inches and a horizontal run of 12 inches. Each step of the marble staircase leading to the Assembly Hall has a vertical rise of 5.5 inches and a horizontal run of 13 inches. (a) Which flight of stairs do you think is steeper? Why?
(b) Calculate the ratio rise/run for each flight of stairs, and verify that the greater ratio belongs to the flight you thought to be steeper.

sorry i dont know my friend

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

x=30

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
