The two ends of the porch are at the same height from the ground, and the start of each ramp is the same distance from the base of the porch. The angle of the first ramp to the ground is 24°.Which statement must be true about the angle of the second ramp to the ground?A. It could have any angle less than or equal to 24°.B. It must have an angle of exactly 24°.C. It could have any angle greater than or equal to 24°.D. Nothing is known about the angle of the second ramp.

Answer 1

option b your welcome

Answer 2

Given statement

The ramps have

- the same height

- the same angle measure relative to the ground

- the two ends of the porch are at the same height from the ground

- the start of each ramp is the same distance from the base of the porch

A pictorial description of the problem is shown below:

Since the two ramps have similar descriptions, the angle measure of the second ramp to the ground would be exactly 24 degrees
