By applying the Pythagorean Theorem, the slant height is given by the formula:slant height=√r2+h2<span>where </span>r<span> is the base radius and </span>h<span> is the altitude.</span>

Assuming you want to find the length of the longest line segment, you would have to first determine where the longest line segment is.
If you can't do this straight away, then it'd be good to draw a diagram as I shown below, to visualise.
From there, you apply pythagora's theorem to the dimensions of the rectangular prism to find the length of the longest line segment.
I have attached the solution in a photo, including some explanation. Hope it helps :)
Answer:
<em>Alternate</em><em> </em><em>interior</em><em> </em><em>angles</em><em> </em><em>.</em>
the angles that are shown in the figure are pair of alternate interior angles and they are equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose AB is the 3- foot high access ramp that ends at point C 20 feet along the ground and
theta is the angle of depression from the start of 3 foot high ramp at point A
Now, in ∆ ABC
m<ACB= theta ( alternate interior angle)
Therefore,
(theta) = tan⁻¹(3/20)
= 8.5°
