Question

Find the length of the ramp. ?
35 ft
12 ft
The length of the ramp is_____ ft.

Answer 1

37 ft

Explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem for right triangles to find the hypotenuse

35^2 + 12^2 = Ramp^2 ramp = 37 ft

Answer 2

37 Feet

Explanation:

We can use Pythagoras Theorem to solve this:

`a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2)`

`35^(2) +12^(2) =c^(2)`

`1225+144=c^(2)`

`1369=c^(2)`

`√(1369) =c`

37 = c
