Step-by-step explanation:
Because the loading dock and the ground are perpendicular we know that they are at a 90° angle. Therefore we can use the equation :
a=5
b= ?
c=18
(Then we can move all of the numbers together but what you do to one side you must do to the other)
Therefore,
(Now to make b a single variable we must square root both sides)
Therefore,
Now with all of these as numbers, we can plug this into a calculator *For all of those who have teachers who need EVERY Step see below I continue
