Jake is riding a skateboard down a ramp that is in the shape of a right triangle. The ramp has a height of 5 feet and a base of 12 feet. What is the length of the ramp?

A. 13 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, you will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem. In the Pythagorean Theorem, .

a = 5

b = 12

c = c

= 25 + 144

= 169

=

c = 13

So, your answer is A. 13 ft.

A shortcut, though, is just to memorize a few basic Pythagorean triples, as listed below.

Hope this helps!

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
