Help pls! Two Boys are building a skateboard ramp. They want the ramp to be 3 feet tall and 5 feet long. One of them thinks that they can use a piece of plywood that is 4 feet long to cover the top of the frame. This is one of theirs work.

a2 + b2 = c2
32 + b2 = 52
9 + b2 = 25
b2 = 16
b = 16−−√
b = 4
