Troy is building a ramp for his toy cars. the plank he is using for the ramp is 8 feet long and is placed on a 2-foot-high box. how far from the box is the bottom edge of troy's ramp?

The box is approx 7.74 feet away from the bottom edge of ramp.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse or the ramp is = 8 feet

The ramp is placed on 2 feet high box.

This 2 feet is the other side or the perpendicular of the triangle.

We have to find the base (How far from the box is the bottom edge of Troy's ramp)

Let this be x

So, as per Pythagoras theorem,

=

=

= feet

The box is approx 7.74 feet away from the bottom edge of ramp.

irrational, then, just means all the numbers that aren't rational. every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. however, numbers like 1/2, 45454737/2424242, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers.
