Across section of a ramp is shown
the length of the base is 45 in and the height of the ramp is 28 in. enter the length, x, of the ramp in inches
can someone me with this and explain it..

Assuming this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem which in this case would equal: x^2 = 45^2 + 28^2

To solve for x you have to take the square root of both sides so plug the following into a calculator: Square Root of (45^2 + 28^2)

This yields the length of side x, which is 53.
