A skateboard ramp is 3.5 meters high. The staircase leading to the top of the ramp is 5.7 meters long. How far away from the bottom of the ramp is the bottom of the staircase? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

pi x^2

step-by-step explanation:

pi times x squared
