Mr. Romero attached a ramp to the base of a window sill so that the family cat could more easily climb into it.
The ramp is 84 inches long.
The window sill is 50 inches above the floor.
We have to determine,
What is the distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the wall?
According to the question,
The ramp is 84 inches long.
The window sill is 50 inches above the floor.
The distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the wall is determined by the square of the addition of their distance.
r^2 = (84)^2 + (50)^2
r= sqroot (9556)
r= 97.75
Hence, the distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the wall is 97.75 inches.
