Question

Brandon is making a ramp . The ramp stands 3 feet tall and is 9 feet long . How long is the base of the ramp

Answer 1

Answer: 8.48 Feet

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem, A^2 + B^2 = C^2

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

A^2 + 3^2 = 9^2

A^2 + 9 = 81

81 - 9 = A^2

72 = A^2

√72 = A

8.48 = A

Hope this helps!
