To determine the length of Emaniee's ramp, we need to calculate the vertical distance between the top of the stairs (C) and the base of the stairs (A).
The vertical distance is given by the difference in height between C and A, so it is calculated as:
Vertical distance = A - C = 30 inches - 7 inches = 23 inches.
Therefore, Emaniee's ramp needs to be at least 23 inches long to cover the vertical distance between the top of the stairs (C) and the base of the stairs (A).
