You are building a ramp for your grandparent's house. The ramp will replace the steps that go
to their front door which is 3 feet off the ground. You want the ramp to start 10 ft from the
front door. How long will the ramp need to be?

Respuesta :

Using right triangle, the length of the ramp is 10.44 ft.

How to find the length of the ramp using right triangle?

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

The length of the ramp is the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

Therefore, using Pythagoras theorem,

c² = a² + b²

where

  • a and b are the other legs
  • c is the hypotenuse side

Therefore,

c² = 10² + 3²

c² = 100 + 9

c = √109

c = 10.4403065089

c = 10.44 ft

Therefore, the length of the ramp is 10.44 ft.
