To meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) a wheelchair ramp must have a slope of 1 : 12 or less. That is, for every 1 in . of “rise,� there must be at least 12 in . of “run.� (See Example 9) a. If a wheelchair ramp is constructed with the maximum slope, what angle does the ramp make with the ground? Round to the nearest tenth of a degree. b. If the ramp is 22 ft long, how much elevation does the ramp provide? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
