a ramp is 1 foot high. the base of the ramp extends 14 ft along the side of the building. how long is the sloped part of the ramp?
+1090 We can solve this using the pythagorean theorem: $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$
a and b are the legs of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (the long side.)
Using the pythagorean theorem:
$$1^2 + 14^2 = c^2$$
$$$\sqrt{1 + 196} = c$$
$$$\sqrt{197} = c$$
Since 197 is prime, we cannot simplify it further.
We can approximate it at:$${\sqrt{{\mathtt{197}}}} = {\mathtt{14.035\: \!668\: \!847\: \!618\: \!199\: \!6}}$$
