The base of the ramp is = sqrt(3500).
"Pythagoras Theorem (also called Pythagorean Theorem) is an important topic in Mathematics, which explains the relation between the sides of a right-angled triangle. The sides of the right triangle are also called Pythagorean triples. The formula and proof of this theorem are explained here with examples.
Pythagoras theorem is basically used to find the length of an unknown side and the angle of a triangle. By this theorem, we can derive the base, perpendicular and hypotenuse formulas."
Given,
The height of the ramp is = 10 inches
The hypotenuse of the ramp = 60 inches
Let the base to ramp be x as shown in figure
Using Pythagoras theorem
[tex]60^2 = x^2 + 10^2\\\\x^2 = 3600-100\\\\x^2 = 3500 \\\\x = \sqrt(3500)[/tex]
Hence, the base of the ramp = [tex]\sqrt(3500)[/tex]
