Question
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the maximum slope of a ramp
for any new constructions is shown below.
y
30 in
360 in
a. Find x, the angle that the ramp makes with the ground. Round to the nearest
whole number.
Hint: SOH-CAH-TOA (Remember to use the inverse function to find the angle.)
b. What is the distance from the bottom of the ramp to the top (y in the
picture)? Round to the nearest hundredth.
in
Hint: Use Pythagorean Theorem (a? + b? = c) to solve for y.
