In the computer game, there must be a ramp that is 2 m wide, with height 3 m and length. 5 m. Assume that one corner of the bottom of the ramp is at the origin.
To find the length of the ramp, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this case, the length of the ramp forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle. We know the width is 2 m and the height is 3 m. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate:
Length^2 = Width^2 + Height^2
Length^2 = 2^2 + 3^2
Length^2 = 4 + 9
Length^2 = 13
To find the length, we need to take the square root of 13:
Length = √13
Therefore, the length of the ramp is approximately 3.61 meters.
