The mechanical advantage (MA) of an inclined plane can be calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Mechanical Advantage (MA)} = \frac{\text{Length of the Inclined Plane}}{\text{Height of the Inclined Plane}}
\]
In this case, the length of the inclined plane is 9 feet, and the height is 3 feet. Plugging these values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{MA} = \frac{9 \text{ feet}}{3 \text{ feet}} = 3
\]
Thus, the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is **3**.
\[
\text{Mechanical Advantage (MA)} = \frac{\text{Length of the Inclined Plane}}{\text{Height of the Inclined Plane}}

In this case, the length of the inclined plane is 9 feet, and the height is 3 feet. Plugging these values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{MA} = \frac{9 \text{ feet}}{3 \text{ feet}} = 3

Thus, the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is **3**.
