Question

What is the length of the ramp?​

Answer 1

$\sf \Large Solution!!$

It is a right angled triangle. The base is 12 m and the perpendicular side is 5 m. We can find the length of the hypotenuse (ramp) by Pythagoras Theorem.

(Base)² + (Perpendicular)² = (Hypotenuse)²

(12 m)² + (5 m)² = (Hypotenuse)²

144 m² + 25 m² = (Hypotenuse)²

169 m² = (Hypotenuse)²

Hypotenuse = $\sf \sqrt{169\:m^{2}}$

Hypotenuse = 13 m

The length of the ramp is 13 m.

Answer 2

Answer:

we can see that this is a right triangle

so we can use Pythagoras theorem here!

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse ²= base2 + perpendicular 2

here,

base= 12 cm

perpendicular=5 cm

hypotenuse?

hypotenuse² ( ramp) = 12²+5²

=144 +25

=√ 169 = 13 cm Ans.

Hope this helps you!
