This is a classic problem involving a right triangle, where we need to determine the horizontal distance from the end of the ramp to the truck (denoted as \( x \)).

### Given:
- The height (vertical distance) from the ground to the truck bed is \( 83 \, \text{cm} \).
- The ramp length (hypotenuse) is \( 158 \, \text{cm} \).

We can use the **Pythagorean Theorem** to solve for the horizontal distance \( x \):

\[
x^2 + 83^2 = 158^2
\]

Let's calculate this.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. 

If you'd like, you can manually apply the Pythagorean theorem with the following steps:

1. Square the length of the ramp (\(158^2\)).
2. Square the height from the ground to the truck bed (\(83^2\)).
3. Subtract the second value from the first.
4. Take the square root of the result to get the horizontal distance \(x\).

Let me know if you have any questions about this or if you'd like further help!

Here are 5 related questions for practice:
1. How do you calculate the slope of the ramp?
2. What is the angle of elevation of the ramp?
3. How would the horizontal distance change if the ramp was longer?
4. How could the ramp length be adjusted to reduce the slope?
5. How would you use trigonometry to solve for the horizontal distance?

**Tip:** The Pythagorean theorem only works for right triangles, so ensure that the triangle you are working with has a right angle!

Jacó pretende usar uma rampa para facilitar a retirada de um piano da carroceria da sua caminhonete. A carroceria da caminhonete está a 83 centímetros do chão, e a rampa tem 158 centímetros de comprimento. Qual é a distância horizontal da extremidade final da rampa até a carroceria da caminhonete?

Learn how to calculate the horizontal distance of a ramp using the Pythagorean theorem. Given the height of the truck at 83 cm and a ramp length of 158 cm, we will solve for the horizontal distance. This problem is suitable for students in Grades 7-9.
