Emaniee would like to build a ramp for her dog over some stairs.

Question

How long does Emaniee’s ramp need to be

(Right triangle) 11 inches, 7 inches, 30 inches, 33 inches, 13.038 inches, 13.04 inches.

Answer 1

To determine the length of Emaniee's ramp, we need to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the ramp, stairs, and the ground.

Since the ramp is placed over the stairs, the length of the ramp would be equal to the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Among the given choices, the closest length to the hypotenuse of the right triangle can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem.

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b).

So, we can calculate the square of the hypotenuse as follows:

11^2 + 7^2 = 121 + 49 = 170.

Now, let's consider the given options:

30^2 = 900
33^2 = 1089
13.038^2 = 170
13.04^2 = 170

Among the given choices, the closest length to the square root of 170 is 13.038 inches.

Therefore, Emaniee's ramp needs to be approximately 13.038 inches long.

Answer 3

Apologies for any confusion caused. Let's calculate the length of Emaniee's ramp using the Pythagorean theorem.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So, we can calculate the lengths:

11^2 + 7^2 = 121 + 49 = 170.

To find the length of the ramp (hypotenuse), we need to find the square root of 170:

√170 ≈ 13.0384.

Therefore, Emaniee's ramp needs to be approximately 13.038 inches long.
