Answer: 5.1961

Step-by-step explanation: I believe you would use the Pythagorean’s theorem, since it’s a problem about a ramp, always draw pictures for word problems. So you would plug your numbers in the formula and solve. 3 squared plus B squared (that’s what we are trying to find so its a variable) equals 6 squared. Then you square and it becomes 9 + b2= 36, subtract 9 on both sides, b2=27, then square root on both sides to get 5.1961. Hopefully that’s right. :)
