16 Pder for entrances to be accessible to all, ramps are being put in place in two different
buildings. One will be smaller than the other, however, both ramps must be proportional in a 3:1
ratio. Two measurements are provided below. What are the measurements of the other sides?

27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the diagonal, we just need to use the cosine relation of the 48° angle.

The adjacent side to the angle is the height of the canvas, and the hypotenuse formed is the diagonal of the canvas. So, we have that:

cos(48) = height / diagonal

0.6691 = 18 / diagonal

diagonal = 18 / 0.6691 = 26.9 inches

Rounding to the nearest inch, the diagonal of the canvas measures 27 inches
