height = sqrt (34^2 - 30^2) ( using Pythagoras theorem)
= sqrt256 = 16 inches

Answer:

A) 16 in

Explanation:

To find the height of the ramp, we have to use the Pythagorean theorem.

Let's take x be the height of the ramp.

x = √(34^2 - 30^2)

x = √(1156 - 900)

x = √256

x = 16 in

Therefore, the height of the ramp 16 inches.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
