Question

Joe is making a ramp.Find the length of the ramp if the height is 7meters and the base is 24 meters

Answer 1

the length of the ramp is 25 meters

Explanation:

Joe is making a ramp. Ramp forms a right angle triangle with the base

So we use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the ramp

AC^2(hypotenuse) = AB^2 + BC^2

Length of ramp is the hypotenuse =
`√(height^2 + base^2)`

=
`√(7^2 +24^2)`

=
`√(49 + 576^2)`

=
`√(625)`

= 25

so the length of the ramp is 25 meters
