Aramp measures 6 feet long. if the ramp is 12 inches tall, what is the horizontal distance that it covers?

We know that

1 ft> is equals to 12 in
the ramp is 12 inches tall> 1 ft tall
A ramp measures>  6 ft long

applying the Pythagorean theorem
c²=a²+b²
where
c> 6 ft long
a> horizontal distance
b> 1 ft tall

a²=c²-b²> a²=6²-1²> a²=35> a=√35> a=5.92 ft

the answer is
5.92 ft

put like terms together.orremember that the 45 becomes negative when moved to the other side.orthe minuses cancel out.
