Question 17.) The floor of a
truck is 24 cm above the
ground.The ramp attached to
the back of the truck touches
the ground at a point which is
10 cm away from the
truck.What is the length of the
ramp?​

Answer 1

Answer

26

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given that,

• the floor of the truck is 24 cm above the ground &
• the ramp attached to the back of the truck touches the ground at a point which is 10 cm away from the truck

»the height = 24 cm & the base = 10 cm.

So, the hypotenuse = √ hypotenuse ² + base²

» The length of the ramp = √24² + 10²

» l = √ 576 + 100

» l = √ 676

» l = 26
