Answer:
[tex]231\ ft\ 10\ in[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
y------> the rise
x------> the run
In this problem we have
[tex]x=15\ ft\ 34\ in[/tex]
step 1
Convert feet to inches
we know that
[tex]1\ feet=12\ inches[/tex]
so
[tex]15\ ft\ 34\ in=15*12+34=214\ in[/tex]
step 2
Find the rise
[tex]13=\frac{y}{x}[/tex]
substitute the value of x and solve for y
[tex]13=\frac{y}{214}[/tex]
[tex]y=13*214=2,782\ in[/tex]
Convert to feet
[tex]2,782\ in=2,782/12=231.83\ ft=231\ ft\ 10\ in[/tex]
