Compute the distance between b and c (top of stairs) seven inches is one stair eleven is the space outside the stair
To compute the distance between b and c, we need to determine the number of stairs and the space outside the stairs.
Let's assume x represents the number of stairs and y represents the space outside the stairs.
Since 7 inches is one stair, the total distance of the stairs can be represented as 7x.
Similarly, since 11 inches is the space outside the stairs, the total distance of the spaces can be represented as 11y.
According to the information provided, the total distance between b and c is equal to the sum of the distance of the stairs and the distance of the spaces. Therefore, we have the equation:
Distance between b and c = 7x + 11y
However, without specific values for x and y, it is impossible to determine the exact distance between b and c.
To compute the distance between b and c, we can break it down into the distance covered within the stairs and the distance outside the stairs.
Let's assume each step (stair) covers 7 inches and the space outside the stairs is 11 inches.
1. Distance within the stairs:
As per the given information, one stair covers 7 inches. To find the distance within the stairs, we need to multiply the number of stairs climbed.
Let's say we need to compute the distance covered within 4 stairs, then the distance within the stairs would be 4 * 7 = 28 inches.
2. Distance outside the stairs:
The space outside each stair is given as 11 inches. To calculate the distance outside the stairs, we need to multiply the number of spaces.
Assuming we need to find the distance outside 3 stairs, the distance outside the stairs would be 3 * 11 = 33 inches.
Adding the distance within the stairs and the distance outside the stairs, we get:
28 inches (within the stairs) + 33 inches (outside the stairs) = 61 inches.
Therefore, the distance between b and c is 61 inches.
To compute the distance between point B (bottom of stairs) and point C (top of stairs), we need to take into account the measurements given in the problem.
According to the problem statement, seven inches represent the height of one stair, and eleven inches represent the space outside the stair.
Let's break down the steps to find the distance between B and C:
Step 1: Determine the vertical distance covered by the stairs
Since each stair has a height of seven inches, we need to calculate the number of stairs from B to C.
To find the number of stairs, we divide the total vertical distance (from B to C) by the height of each stair:
Number of stairs = (Total distance - Space outside stairs) / Height of each stair
Number of stairs = (C - B - 11) / 7
Step 2: Calculate the vertical distance covered by the stairs
To find the vertical distance covered by the stairs, multiply the number of stairs by the height of each stair:
Vertical distance covered by stairs = Number of stairs * Height of each stair
Vertical distance covered by stairs = [(C - B - 11) / 7] * 7
Step 3: Calculate the horizontal distance between B and C
Given that the space outside the stairs is eleven inches, we add it to the horizontal distance between B and C:
Horizontal distance between B and C = Space outside stairs + Vertical distance covered by stairs
Horizontal distance between B and C = 11 + [(C - B - 11) / 7] * 7
Now, substitute the known values into the equation above to compute the distance between B and C, where B and C are the respective heights:
Distance between B and C = 11 + [(C - B - 11) / 7] * 7
Please provide the specific values for B and C so that I can calculate the distance between them.
