Answer:

6.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of the ramp in feet.

We have been given that steel loading ramps are used to load a lawn mower onto a truck bed 37.5 inches above the ground. The ramp make a 30° angle with the ground.

We can see from our attachment that ramp and truck bed forms a right triangle with ground. The truck bed is opposite side and length of ramp is hypotenuse of our given angle.

Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use Sine to solve for L.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

Therefore, the length of the ramp is 75 inches.

Let us convert the length of ramp in feet.

1 feet = 12 inches.

Therefore, the length of the ramp is 6.25 feet.

In JKL and PQR, if JK PQ, KL QR, and K Q, then JKL must be congruent to PQR.

Pavlova-9 [17]

True!

Two shapes are congruent if when turning, flipping or sliding one shape it can become another. This problem is illustrated in the Figure below. So, you can see that we have two triangles ΔJKL and ΔPQR. As you can see:

JK=PQ
KL=QR
∠K=∠Q

Given that two sides are equal to two other sides and one angle is equal to another one, then JL= PR. Accordingly, since all the sides are congruent, then the whole triangle JKL is congruent to PQR
