Question

harrison bought a 10 foot ramp to load his dirt bike into the back of his truck. the ramp hooks to the 3 foot high tailgate. how far away from the tailgate doe the ramp sit in the ground?

Answer 1

9.54 feet

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras rule :

Length of ramp = 10 feets = hypotenus

Hypotenus² = opposite² - adjacent²

d² = 10² - 3²

d² = 100 - 9

d² = 91

d = √91

d = 9.5393920

d = 9.54 feets
