the ramp shown below is used to move crates of oranges to loading docks at diffrent heights.when the horizontal distance ab is 15 feet the height of the loading dock,bc,is 3 feet.what is the height of the loading dock de

guys. It's 5

(Here is 1 way)
Since AB is 15, and BD is 25, we could divide them and get 1.(6), then multiple that by 3 to get (4.(9)), and round it to 5
Way number 2
15/25 3/0
25 x 3
75 / 15
You get 5
Your welcome mdudes

thank youuuu

To determine the height of the loading dock DE, we can use the concept of similar triangles.

In the given situation, we have a right triangle ABC, where AB is the horizontal distance, BC is the height of the loading dock, and AC is the hypotenuse (ramp). Let's label the height of the loading dock DE.

Now, let's set up the ratios of the corresponding sides of the two similar triangles ABC and ADE:

AC/BC = AD/DE

We know that AC (the ramp) is 15 feet and BC is given as 3 feet.

Plugging in the known values:

15/3 = AD/DE

We need to rearrange this equation to isolate DE:

DE = AD * 3 / 15

To find the value of AD, we need additional information. If you can provide the length of any other side or an angle, we can further calculate the height of the loading dock DE.

plz somebody help me!!!:(

i would say it's c

ANYBODY???:****(

expect no help till you finish the question. Do you see what you actually wrote?

No diagram, no description of what D and E are.

BOGUS!
