Answer 2

Answer:   The distance is 9.17 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

There is the ramp given of length 10 feet.

The height is 4 feet , lifted to the truck door.

It meas, the triangle formed is right triangle.

So, we can use Pythagorean theorem in this triangle.

As per Pythagorean theorem,  $c^2=a^2+b^2$

$10^2=4^2+x^2$

$100=16+x^2$

$x^2=100-16$

$x^2=84$

Taking square root on both sides

$x=9.17$

hence the distance is 9.17 feet.    :   Answer
