Question

The diagram below represents a Sideview of a bike ramp which is closest to the value of X

Answer 1

x=26.68 inches

Explanation:

The attached figure shows a triangular ramp. Height of the ramp is 6 inches and the base of the ramp is 26 inches.

We can use Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x as follows :

Hypotenuse²=base²+height²

So,

`x^2=26^2+6^2\\\\x^2=712\\\\x=26.68\ \text{inches}`

Hence, the value of x is 26.68 inches
