To find the length of the ramp, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The length of the ramp is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the length, width, and height of the cage.
The length of the ramp = √(length^2 + width^2 + height^2)
= √(70^2 + 35^2 + 50^2)
= √(4900 + 1225 + 2500)
= √(8625)
≈ 92.9 cm
Therefore, the length of the ramp needs to be approximately 92.9 cm.
