a. A wheelchair ramp with a length of 52 inches has a horizontal distance of 48 inches. What is the ramp's vertical distance? 52 in. x in. b. Construction laws are very specific when it comes to access ramps for the disabled. Every vertical rise of 1 inch requires a horizontal run of 12 inches. Does this ramp satisfy the requirements? 48 in. a. The vertical distance of the ramp is b. Does this ramp satisfy the requirements? Choose the correct answer below. O A. No, the ramp does not satisfy the requirements because, using the given dimensions, the ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run does not equal 1:12. O B. Yes, the ramp does satisfy the requirements because, using the given dimensions, the ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run is equal to 1:12. OC. Yes, the ramp does satisfy the requirements because, using the given dimensions, the ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run is greater than 1:12. O D. No, the ramp does not satisfy the requirements because, using the given dimensions, the ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run is less than 12:1.
