To determine the height of one stair, we would need to know additional details from the drawing you mentioned, such as the total height of the stairs and the number of stairs.

However, since I don't have access to the drawing, I can't provide a definitive answer. If you could provide more details about the number of stairs or any specific measurements given in the drawing, I could help you calculate the height of one stair.

Based on the choices provided, if the height of the stairs is given by a formula or relationship in the drawing, you might want to divide the total height by the number of stairs to find the height of one stair.

For example, if the total height of the stairs is 36 inches and there are 3 steps, then the height of one stair would be:

\[ \text{Height of one stair} = \frac{\text{Total height}}{\text{Number of stairs}} = \frac{36 \text{ in}}{3} = 12 \text{ in} \]

If you can provide more specific information, I'll be glad to assist further!

9 in 15 in

Based on your response of "9 in 15 in," it seems like you may be providing two measurements. If we consider these as the total height of a staircase and the height of each stair, we can calculate the height of each stair.

If the total height of the staircase is 15 inches, and the height of one stair is 9 inches, the context isn't quite clear since you typically cannot have each stair being taller than the total height of the staircase.

If instead you meant that there are several stairs with a height of 9 inches leading up to a total of 15 inches, we could do the following:

  1. Determine how many stairs there might be by dividing the total height by the height of one stair:

    \[ \text{Number of stairs} = \frac{\text{Total height}}{\text{Height of one stair}} = \frac{15 \text{ in}}{9 \text{ in}} \approx 1.67 \]

This doesn’t yield a whole number of stairs, indicating that perhaps either the measurements need clarification or that not all stairs need to be the same height.

Could you clarify whether these numbers refer to the height of the entire set of stairs and the height of one stair? Or are you saying that one stair is 9 inches and the total height is 15 inches? Additional context would help in providing a more accurate answer!
