Julio is building a ramp for a bike competition. He has two

rectangular boards. One board is 10 meters long and the other is

8 meters long. If the ramp has to form a right triangle, what

should its height be?

Answer: 6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Julio is building a ramp for a bike competition and he has two rectangular boards. One board is 10 meters long and the other is 8 meters long. We are told to calculate the height.

To form a right angle triangle

(hypotenuse) ^2 = (base) ^2 + (height) ^2

10^2 = 8^2 + (height) ^2

(height) ^2 = 10^2 - 8^2

Height^2 = 100 - 64

Height^2 = 36

Height = ✓36

Height = 6

The height is 6 meters.
