Flared sides smoothly connect the ramp to the sidewalk. The guidelines say the flared sides must be no more than 5.7 degrees ( ratio of vertical to horizontal). What is the horizontal distance for flared sides with a 4 inch vertical distance?

Step-by-step explanation:

= Angle =

Let the vertical distance be is

horizontal distance be

So, slope is the tangent of the angle between the vertical and horizontal

The horizontal distance for flared sides is .

step-by-step explanation:

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
