In 28. the simplest approach, we set up a ratio for the total increase in horizontal depth x (where x = 0.05 m is the increase in horizontal depth per step) x = Nsteps x = 4.57 0.19 (0.05) = 1.2 m .
However, we can approach this more carefully by noting if that there are N = 4.57/.19 24 rises then under normal circumstances we would expect N - 1 = 23 runs (horizontal pieces) in that staircase. This would yield (23)(0.05) = 1.15 m, which to two significant figures agrees with our first result.
