This skateboard ramp has two ladders. On ladder is 40 feet high and the other is 24 feet high. The distance from the top of the taller ladder to the end of the ramp is 200 feet. What is the distance from the top of the shorter ladder to the bottom of the ramp?

Okay, so we know that the distance from the high ladder to the bottom is 200 feet... if you take 200/40 its 5 now take 24*5 and the answer should be 120
