You are going to use an incline plane to lift a heavy object to the top of a shelving unit with a height of 5ft. The base of the incline plane is 7ft from the shelving unit. What is the length of the incline plane?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of the inclined plane AC = x = 8.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = AB = 5 ft

BC = 7 ft

Now length of inclined plane AC = x

Apply pythagores theorem for ΔABC

[tex]AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2} \\\\x^{2} = 5^{2} + 7^{2} \\[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} = 74[/tex]

x = 8.6 ft

Therefore the length of the inclined plane AC = x = 8.6 ft
