Note that
a2 + b2 = c2.


To work under a car, a mechanic drives it up steel ramps like the ones shown below. Find the length of each side of the ramp.
a = ft
b = ft
c = ft

[tex](x + 1)^{2} + {x}^{2} = (x + 2)^{2} \\ x ^{2} + 2x + {1}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {x}^{2} + 4x + {2}^{2} \\ 2 {x}^{2} + 2x + 1 = {x}^{2} + 4x + 4 \\ {x}^{2} - 2x - 3 = 0[/tex]
Solve quadratic equation:
x= 3 or x=-1 (rejected.because length cannot be negative)
