What is the length, in meters, of the ramp, line segment AC, below? Round to the nearest whole number if necessary.

10 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side of a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

The Pythagorean theorem is...

Please be sure to note that a and b will always be the length of the sides and c will always be the hypotenuse, or in this case the ramp.

Since we know the values of both of the sides we can plug this into the theorem.

Now we can solve.

Add.

Many people will make the mistake of thinking 100 is the final answer, but since c is squared we need to find the square root of 100.

c = 10

The ramp is 10 meters.
