Question

You are building a ramp for your grandparent’s house. The ramp will replace the steps that go to their front door which is 3 feet off the ground. You want the ramp to start 10 ft from the front door. How long will the ramp need to be?

Answer 1

10.4403 or the square root of 109

Explanation:

We do this by finding the height (3) and squaring it then the base (10) and squaring that, this sets up the Pythagorean theorem which is A^2+B^2=C^2 then you square C to find it's value
