Notice that the triangle is a right triangle, because of the right angle. By the Pythagorean Theorem, [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]. Then [tex]15^2+b^2=17^2\implies 225+b^2=289\implies b^2=64\implies b=8[/tex], d. 8 m

Answer:

the answer is the option D

[tex]8\ m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The figure of the ramp represent a right triangle

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

Let

h------> the height of the ramp

[tex]17^{2}=15^{2}+h^{2}[/tex]

solve for h

[tex]h^{2}=17^{2}-15^{2}[/tex]

[tex]h^{2}=64[/tex]

[tex]h=8\ m[/tex]
