You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your question:
Consider there is an entrance ramp to a doorway G is at (0,2)and H is at (7,0). If each space on the graph paper represents 1 foot, how tall is the ramp?. Also, What is the distance from the bottom to the edge of the building?
My answer is (for the 1st question)4 ft tall
Thank You for your help AND time!
The first thing I did was to graph the two given points.
Point (0,2) tells me that x = 0 and y = 2.
So, if each unit (or space) on graph paper represents 1 foot, the top of the ramp is the same length as the y coordinate or 2 feet. Go ahead and graph (0,2) and you will see what I mean.
Your second question is not too clear.
Do you want to know the distance from the bottom of the building to point H?
OR...do you want to know the distance from points G to H?
Get back to me in terms of question 2 and I will help you.
