Respuesta :
Notice that the triangle is a right triangle, because of the right angle. By the Pythagorean Theorem, [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]. Then [tex]15^2+b^2=17^2\implies 225+b^2=289\implies b^2=64\implies b=8[/tex], d. 8 m
Answer:
the answer is the option D
[tex]8\ m[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The figure of the ramp represent a right triangle
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
Let
h------> the height of the ramp
[tex]17^{2}=15^{2}+h^{2}[/tex]
solve for h
[tex]h^{2}=17^{2}-15^{2}[/tex]
[tex]h^{2}=64[/tex]
[tex]h=8\ m[/tex]
