Answer:
The base of the ramp extend from the end of the truck by 10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Slope of the ramp , [tex]m=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Height of the ramp , y= 4 feet
Thus the distance between the base of the ramp and end of the truck is given by [tex]x=\frac{y}{slope}[/tex]
=>[tex]x=\frac{4\times 5}{2}feet=10feet[/tex]
Thus the base of the ramp extend from the end of the truck by 10 feet
