@hjutyu you should post this in the mathematics section you'll get more help there

Answer 9

let's use the pythogorean theorem;

let = length of ramp = l

l ² = 6^2*16^2
....= 36+256
....= 292
Then find the squareroot of 292 and you get 17.08...
Round the answer to 17.1
You should post this in the Mathematics section :)
