Answer:

59.03° is greater than 56.31°' This means that the sliding pole that rises 5 feet for every 3 feet of run making an angle of inclination of 59.03° is steeper than the angle of inclination made by a sliding pole that rises 3 feet for every 2 feet run.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Express the angle of inclination as follows;

Tan∅=H/R

where;

∅=angle of inclination

H=vertical rise

R=distance of run

Step 2

Determine the angle inclination when;

H=3 feet

R=2 feet

replacing;

Tan∅=(3/2)=1.5

∅=Tan^(-1)(1.5)

∅=56.31°

Determine the angle inclination when;

H=5 feet

R=3 feet

replacing;

Tan∅=(5/3)=1.67

∅=Tan^(-1)(1.67)

∅=59.03°

59.03° is greater than 56.31°' This means that the sliding pole that rises 5 feet for every 3 feet of run making an angle of inclination of 59.03° is steeper than the angle of inclination made by a sliding pole that rises 3 feet for every 2 feet run.
