8. Example 5-1a RAMPS A ramp to the entrance of a newly constructed building must be built according to accessibility guidelines stated in the Americans with Disabilities Act. If the ramp is 24.1 feet long and the top of the ramp is 2 feet off the ground, how far is the end of the ramp from the entrance? Notice the problem involves a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean Theorem. 1/2 b

9. Write the Pythagorean Theorem formula Replace c with 24.1 24.1 2 Replace a with 2 b Bring down b = 2 2 + b 2

10. 1/2 24.1 2 = 2 2 + b 2 Follow order of operations P E MD AS Solve all exponents 580.81 = 4 + b 2 Ask: “What is being done to the variable?” Variable is being added by 4 Do the inverse on both sides of the = sign 580.81 - 4 = 4 - 4+ b 2 Subtract on each side of the = sign 576.81 = b 2

11. 1/2 24.1 2 = 2 2 + b 2 580.81= 4+ b 2 580.81 - 4 = 4 - 4 + b 2 576.81 = b 2 Ask: “What is being done to the variable?” Variable is being squared Do the inverse on both sides of the = sign b2b2 Find square root of both sides 24.02= b Add dimensional analysis Answer: End of ramp = 24 feet from the entrance If the ramp is 24.1 feet long and the top of the ramp is 2 feet off the ground, how far is the end of the ramp from the entrance?

12. Example 5-1b RAMPS If a truck ramp is 32 feet long and the top of the ramp is 10 feet off the ground, how far is the end of the ramp from the truck? Answer: End of ramp = 30.40 feet from truck 1/2
