To find the length of the ramp, we need to find the diagonal of the rectangle formed by the length and width of the cage. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find this diagonal.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
diagonal^2 = length^2 + width^2
diagonal^2 = (70 cm)^2 + (35 cm)^2
diagonal^2 = 4900 cm^2 + 1225 cm^2
diagonal^2 = 6125 cm^2
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
diagonal = √(6125 cm^2)
diagonal ≈ 78.6 cm
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 78.6 cm.
