To determine the height of the ramp on the blueprint, we need to use the scale given, which is 1cm : 25cm. This means that every 1cm on the blueprint corresponds to 25cm in real life.
To find the height on the blueprint, we need to know the height of the ramp in real life. Let's say the actual height of the ramp is "h" centimeters.
Using the scale, we can set up the following equation:
1cm (on the blueprint) = 25cm (in real life)
So, we can write:
1cm = 25cm
Next, we can set up a proportion using the height of the ramp in real life (h) as the unknown variable.
1cm (on the blueprint) / 25cm (in real life) = x (cm on the blueprint) / h (in real life)
Cross-multiplying this proportion, we get:
1 * h = 25 * x
Simplifying further:
h = 25x
Therefore, the height of the ramp on the blueprint is 25 times the actual height of the ramp.
