Using the Pythagorean theorem,
Diagonal length = √(length^2 + width^2 + height^2)
Diagonal length = √(70^2 + 35^2 + 50^2)
Diagonal length = √(4900 + 1225 + 2500)
Diagonal length = √(8625)
Diagonal length ≈ 92.8 cm
Therefore, the ramp needs to be approximately 92.8 cm long to fit diagonally in the cage.
The cage has a length of 70cm, a width of 35 and a height of 50 how long does the ramp need to be to fit diagonally in the cage? Round the answer to the nearest 10th
