Answer:

nothing

Step-by-step explanation:

nothing

Answer:

1 ft is equals to 12 in

the ramp is 12 inches tall 1 ft tall

A ramp measures 6 ft long

applying the Pythagorean theorem

c²=a²+b²

where

c =6 ft long

a = horizontal distance

b = 1 ft tall

[tex]a^2= c^2 -b^2 = 36 -1 =35\\a=\sqrt{35}=5.92ft[/tex]

Horizontal distance = 5.92 ft
