Ramp height is 16.0 feet

Explanation:

Ramp length = 34 feet

ramp base = 30 feet

ramp height = ?

Drawing the ramp problem:

Using pythagoras' theorem:

Hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

Hypotenuse = ramp length, adjacent = ramp base, opposite = ramp height

34² = opposite² + 30²

1156 = opposite² + 900

opposite² = 1156 - 900

opposite² = 256

opposite = √256

opposite = 16

Ramp height is 16.0 feet
