We are given various skateboard kicker ramp with different height and base

For the first triangle,

The heigth = 3 ft

Base = 12 ft

The ratio of height to base = 3/12

= 1 : 4..

Second figure,

The height = 1 ft

Base = 1.5 ft


\begin{gathered} \text{Ratio of height to base = }(6)/(1.5) \\ 1.5\text{ = }(3)/(2) \\ \text{Ratio = }(6)/((3)/(2)) \\ \text{Ratio = }\frac{6\text{ x 2}}{3} \\ \text{Ratio = }(12)/(3) \\ \text{Ratio = }4\text{ : 1} \end{gathered}

Only the first figure and the second figure will give you 4 : 1 as the ratio of hei
