There is not enough information to solve this. Are you sure the sidewalk is 7ft high and not 7ft long?

Sorry about the mistype, It is 7ft long.

Also, Bryan, the problem is worded oddly. THe "built against a flight of stairs" is odd. Is this from the book, or from something your teacher made him/herself? I suspect your teacher has worded this in a very confusing way. Do you find the teacher difficult to understand?

I don't find the teacher difficult to understand, I think "built against a flight of stairs" means beside the stairs? because all the pwd ramps I have seen are close to or beside stairs. Thank you for your response :)
