Question

a shipping company uses an inclined conveyor belt to load and unload packages. the dock is 4 feet above the ground. the base of the conveyor belt is 10 feet from the dock. what is the length of the conveyor belt?
click the icon to view the conveyor belt.
$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
$\square^2 + 10^2 = c^2$
$16 + \square = c^2$
$\square = c^2$
$\square = c$
(type integers or decimals rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)
the length of the conveyor belt is about \square feet.
(round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Answer:

$4^2 + 10^2 = c^2$
$16 + 100 = c^2$
$116 = c^2$
$10.8 = c$
The length of the conveyor belt is about $10.8$ feet.
