Guidelines for a wheelchair ramp suggest that the ratio of the rise to the run be no greater than
1:12. There are two part please answer part a and part b.

Part A: Which wheelchair follow the guidelines?

Part B: A wheelchair ramp provides access to a building with a front door 2.5 feet above the sidewalk. Which best describes the possible length(s) for the ramp that will follow the guidelines?

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

you,

mrb

i believe the answer is d.

hope it you! : d

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)
