Answer to Question #167092 in Trigonometry for Zero

Question

This February, a non-profit organization will be having a bike exhibition competition in an open field that is 50 meters long. They specified that the

maximum height of a single ramp is 2 meters above the ground and the minimum height is 0.5 meters below the ground. They are looking for someone

who could design the entire ramp for the exhibition.

Answer 1

From the figure,

Using Hypotenuse theorem,

$AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2$

$AB^2 = 2500 + 6.25$

AB = $50.06$ m

Hence, at least $50.6$ m concrete is required to construct the ramp for the exhibition by the

masons.
