As part of a community service project, the Key Club wants to build a ramp to make the stage in the auditorium wheelchair accessible. The stage is 4 feet above ground level and they want the ramp to start its slope 8 feet from the base of the stage. To insure that the ride is smooth, they want to buy boards that are long enough to cover the entire distance from where the slope begins to the top of the stage. At the lumberyard, they discover that boards come in lengths of 8 feet, 10 feet, 12 feet and 14 feet. What length boards should they buy?
10 feet (c = 8.9, so 8 feet is too short)
