The ramp starts 24 inches away from the step.

  2. 4-6 Lesson 4-6 Example 5 Plan Pick a strategy. One strategy is to draw a diagram. Then use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the ramp.

  3. 4-6 Lesson 4-6 Example 5 Solve Substitute 7 for a and 24 for b in the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for c. a2 + b2 = c2 72 + 242 = c2 49 + 576 = c2 625 = c2 25 = c The length of the ramp is 25 inches.
