Answer:
6.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle formed (in red) by the pet ramp is showing a right triangle.
By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given right triangle,
(Hypotenuse)² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²
Length of leg 1 = 6 ft
Length of leg 2 = 1.5 ft
By substituting the values in the formula,
(Hypotenuse)² = 6² + (1.5)²
= 36 + 2.25
= 38.25
Hypotenuse = [tex]\sqrt{38.25}[/tex]
= 6.18
≈ 6.2 ft
Therefore, length of the pet ramp is 6.2 ft.
