Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us take the length of ramp as x
As the ramp is 6 feet tall,
6 feet can be considered as height.
The base of the ramp is 8 feet.
Therefore,
By using Pythagoras Theorem,
(Hypotenuse)² = (Height)² + (Base)²
(x)² = (6)² + (8)²
x² = 36 + 64
x² = 100
x² = √100
x = 10 m
Hence, The length of ramp is 10 m
