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

Answer:

the answer is the option D

\(8\ m\)

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

\(17^{2}=15^{2}+h^{2}\)

solve for h

\(h^{2}=17^{2}-15^{2}\)

\(h^{2}=64\)

\(h=8\ m\)
