Answer:
the length of the ramp is 25 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Joe is making a ramp. Ramp forms a right angle triangle with the base
So we use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the ramp
AC^2(hypotenuse) = AB^2 + BC^2
Length of ramp is the hypotenuse = [tex]\sqrt{height^2 + base^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{7^2 +24^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{49 + 576^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{625}[/tex]
= 25
so the length of the ramp is 25 meters
