You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the horizontal distance from ramp to terminal = 43 ft ( leg1)
\n" ); document.write( "the vertical height = 4 ft (leg2)
\n" ); document.write( "length of ramp = ? (hyp)
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "they form a right triangle
\n" ); document.write( "hyp^2= 43^2+4^2
\n" ); document.write( "hyp^2= 1849+16
\n" ); document.write( "hyp^2=1865
\n" ); document.write( "hypotenuse = 43.18 feet
\n" ); document.write( "
