To use the Pythagorean Theorem to compute the distance between points D and C, we need to find the lengths of the two legs of the right triangle.
Let's assume:
- Point A is the starting point of the ramp,
- Point B is the top of the stairs where the ramp will end,
- Point C is the bottom of the ramp,
- Point D is the bottom of the stairs.
Now, let's calculate the distances:
1. Distance between points B and C:
This can be calculated by finding the vertical distance from B to D and subtracting it from the vertical distance from C to D. Let's say the vertical distance from B to D is 'h' and the vertical distance from C to D is 'v'. The distance between B and C can be found using the formula: distance = v - h.
2. Distance between points A and B:
This can be calculated as the length of the ramp. Let's say the length of the ramp is 'r'.
3. Distance between points D and B:
This can be calculated as the horizontal distance from D to B. Let's say the horizontal distance from D to B is 'd'.
4. Distance between points D and C using the Pythagorean Theorem:
We can apply the theorem using the distances calculated in steps 1-3. The formula is: distance = sqrt(d^2 + (v - h)^2).
After calculating these distances, you can enter them on the worksheet.

So give me like the answer for each questions
I apologize for the confusion earlier. Since I don't have the specific values for the coordinates of the points, I cannot provide the exact answers. However, I can help you understand how to calculate the distances using the given points on the worksheet.
To compute the distance between points B and C, you need the coordinates of both points. Once you have the coordinates, you can use the distance formula:
Distance between B and C = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
To compute the distance between points A and B, you again need the coordinates of both points. Use the distance formula:
Distance between A and B = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
To compute the distance between points D and B, you need the coordinates of both points. Use the distance formula:
Distance between D and B = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
Finally, to use the Pythagorean Theorem to compute the distance between points D and C, you need the distances calculated in the previous steps. Use the formula:
Distance between D and C = √[(Distance between D and B)^2 + (Distance between B and C)^2]
You can substitute the computed values into the appropriate formulas to find the distances between each pair of points.
