Q #1: Which of the following is the length of the unknown leg of a right triangle that has one leg length of 5 feet and a hypotenuse of 17 feet? (Round to the nearest tenth.)
A. 18 feet
B. 14.4 feet
C. 9.8 feet
D. 16.2 feet
Answer Explanation
We are asked to find the one of the lengths of a right-angled triangle, we use the Pythagoras theorem to find the unknown length.
First, we label the triangle as below and let the unknown length be x.
Then, we apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x as:
We take square-root on both sides
The value of the unknown length is 16.2 feet.

Q #2: The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the slope of a wheelchair ramp be no greater than 1:12. Which of the following is the minimum length of a ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 5.2 feet above the sidewalk?
A. 52 feet
B. 148 feet
C. 32.2 feet
D. 62.4 feet
Answer Explanation
In this problem slope represents the change in height above sidewalk to change in length of the ramp.
From the definition of slope
Letting x to be the minimum length of the ramp, then
Substituting with the known value of slope
Cross-multiply to find the value of x
Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed is 62.4 feet to access to a door that is 5.2 feet above the sidewalk.
