Question

Construct Arguments When Carmen parks on a hill, she places chocks behind the wheels of her car. The height of the chocks must be at least one-fourth of the height of the wheels to hold the car securely in place. The chock shown has the shape of a right triangle. Is it safe for Carmen to use? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: yes it is safe for Carmen use.

Step-by-step explanation:

wheel chocks are usually wedge-shaped items which are carefully placed behind the wheels of a vehicle. This is done to prevent any unnecessary and accidental movements of the vehicle. What a wheel check does is to prevent a vehicles from rolling, slipping, shifting or sliding when not in operation. The wedge available is shaped like a right angle triangle which means the wedge is at an angle of 90°, Carmen should make use of it as it would be able to hold the vehicle.
