Question

Jake plans to use a ramp to make it easier to move a piano out of the back of his truck. the back of the truck is 333333 inches tall and the ramp is 656565 inches long. 3333xx\text{back of truck}back of truck6565 what is the horizontal distance from the end of the ramp to the back of the truck

Answer 1

736334.49 inches
if the measurements given are 333333 and 656565 then to find the diagonal length. we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
333333^2 + 656565^2 = x
take the square root of 333333^2 + 656565^2 to get 736334.49

Answer 2

Answer: 56 inches

Explanation:

Here, the length of the back of the truck = 33 inches,

The length of the ramp = 65 inches.

Let x be the horizontal distance from the end of the ramp to the back of the truck,

Hence, by applying the Pythagoras theorem, (shown below)

`x^2 = (65)^2 - (33)^2`

`x^2 = 4225 - 1089`

`x^2 = 3136`

`x = 56\text{ inches}`

Thus, the horizontal distance from the end of the ramp to the back of the truck = 56 inches.
