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!

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)
