Answer:
11.48 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ramp forms a Right triangle with ground and height of truck.
In the Right triangle, hypotenuse is 12 feet and height is 3.5 feet. We need to find horizontal base of right triangle.
We can use Pythagorean theorem that is given by :-
(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²
(12)² = (Base)² + (3.5)²
144 = (Base)² + 12.25
(Base)² = 144 - 12.25
(Base)² = 131.75
(Base) = √131.75
