<PRE><B>Question 118169</B>
Slope of 1:18 (1 inch rise for every 18 inches of run) required for exterior ramps, 1:12 for interior ramps. 


b. What would be the total horizontal distance of your ramp from the house if the vertical distance is 2 feet as with the steps above? 
-------
2 ft = 24 inches
----------
Proportion:
1/18 = 24/x
x = 18*24
x = 432 inches of run = 36 ft of run
