Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the bridge be x
Since, triangles ADF and BCF are similar, ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.
Therefore,
60 / 144 = 40 / x
X (length of the bridge) = <u>96 m</u>
We know that
1 ft--------> is equals to 12 in
the ramp is 12 inches tall----------> 1 ft tall
<span>A ramp measures------------------> 6 ft long
</span>
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
</span>c²=a²+b²
where
c-----> 6 ft long
a----> horizontal distance
b-----> 1 ft tall
a²=c²-b²------> a²=6²-1²-----> a²=35------> a=√35------> a=5.92 ft
the answer is
5.92 ft
36 it the surface area of the triangler prism
