hope this helps! I just took this and got a 100

Answer 2

To find the length of the ramp needed to fit diagonally in the cage, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The diagonal of the rectangular prism representing the cage can be found by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the length, width, and height.

Diagonal = √(70^2 + 35^2 + 50^2)
Diagonal = √(4900 + 1225 + 2500)
Diagonal = √(8625)
Diagonal ≈ 92.9 cm

Thus, the length of the ramp needs to be approximately 92.9 cm.
