To answer this you have to use Pythagoras's theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Put in the values:
5^2 + 15^2 = c^2
Simplify it:
25 + 225 = c^2
Simplify again:
250 = c^2
Square root both sides:
15.8113883008 = c
So the ramp is:
15.8113883008 feet
Now round the number:
15.8ft
The above is the answer :)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the sum of the first 42 terms of the following series, to the nearest integer.
2,7,12
Solution
The sum is given by
SUM_n=n/2*(a_1+a_n)
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d
a_1=2, n=42, d=5
The 42nd term is therefore given by
a_42=2+(42-1)5=207
SUM_42=42/2*(2+207)=21*209=4389
The sum of the first 42 terms of the series, therefore, is 4389
