Me ! 15 ! write your own real-world scenario where the pythagorean theorem can be applied to find a missing piece. you may choose to write a problem that is two- or three-dimensional in nature. then draw a diagram of your scenario. then solve your real-world scenario

Mark was making a ramp for handicapped people. The board he used was 26 feet long. From the bottom of the curb to the bottom of the ramp was 24 feet. How tall is ramp suppose to be?

A^2 + B^2 = C^2 
A^2 + 24^2 = 26^2
A^2 + 576 = 676
A^2 + 576 - 576 = 676 - 576 
A^2 + 0 = 100
100 square rooted = 10 
The Ramp is 10 feet tall. 
 
( I think I made the ramp too tall)
