Question

Una rampa de una carretera avanza 60 metros en horizontal para subir 11 metros en vertical ¿cual es la longitud de la carretera?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the road is 61 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

A road ramp advances 60 meters horizontally to climb 11 meters vertically. What is the length of the road?

Let

L ----> the length of the ramp

h ---> horizontal distance of the ramp

v ---> vertical distance of the ramp

we know that

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$L^2=h^2+v^2$

we have

$h=60\ m\\v=11\ m$

substitute

$L^2=60^2+11^2$

$L^2=3,721\\L=61\ m$

therefore

The length of the road is 61 meters
