When designing an arena, architects designed the ramps leading up to the entrances so that circus elephants would be able to walk up the ramps. The maximum grade (or slope) that an elephant will walk on is 13%. Suppose that such a ramp was constructed with a horizontal run of 140 What would be the maximum vertical rise the architects could use? The maximum rise the architects could use is (Type an integer or a decimal.) ft.
