1)

Let:

N = Total people every week = 207

r = People which needs a ramp = 1:9 = 1/9

So:


N\cdot r=207\cdot(1)/(9)=23

Answer: 23 people

2)


\begin{gathered} SA=b\cdot h+pw \\ _{\text{ }}where\colon \\ b=18ft \\ h=4ft \\ p=b+h+l \\ l=\sqrt[]{h^2+b^2} \\ l=\sqrt[]{340} \\ w=4.75ft \end{gathered}

Therefore:


\begin{gathered} SA=72+192.09 \\ SA=264.09ft^2 \end{gathered}

3)

The percentage of the people that don't need the ramp will be given by:


1-r=1-(1)/(9)=(8)/(9)\approx0.89

Answer: Approximately 89%

4)


\begin{gathered} h=\sqrt[]{(\sqrt[]{340})^2-9^2} \\ h=\sqrt[]{259} \\ h\approx16.09ft \end{gathered}

5)


\begin{gathered} h=\sqrt[]{(\sqrt[]{340})^2-6^2} \\ h=\sqrt[]{340} \\ h\approx17.44ft \end{gathered}
