Question

A ramp has a horizontal distance of 10 feet and a vertical rise of 3 feet. Find the length of the ramp. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Tye length of the ramp can be gotten using Pythagoras theorem.

Horizontal distance = 10ft.

Vertical distance = 3ft

Length of the ramp² = 10²+3²

Length of the ramp² = 100+9

Length of the ramp² = 109

L² = 109

L =√109

L = 10.44ft

Hence the length of the ramp is 10.4ft to the nearest tenth
