What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Pythagorean theorem states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the square of the sum of the other two sides.

By using Pythagoras' theorem

D²  =   84²  -    50²

D   =   √   84²  -    50²

D  =  √4556

D   =  67.5 inches

Therefore the distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the wall will be 67.5 inches.
