You're building a 12 foot ramp to the entrance of a building 3 feet above the ground. The ADA regulations require the incline of
the ramp to be no more than 5 degrees. What is the degree measure of your angle of elevation? Will it fit the requirements? If not, can you think of a way to make it work.
the 12 foot ramp to the entrance of a building is the base of a right angled triangle and the 3 feet above the ground should be the height above the ground basement. The by using the tangent of a triangle from the knowledge of our trigonometric function; we have:
The degree measure of the angle of elevation is 14.04°
NO, it doesn't fit the requirements.
We can increase the foot ramp to 34 feet instead of being the 12 given value in order to fit the requirements.
A factor in determining the carrying capacity of a city's environment is the water resources available to meet city needs. This is assuming this is one of the following city needs in this question. This is the only answer that pertains to the environment. Good Luck!
Ophiolites are regarded as a part of the Earth's oceanic crust and the underlying upper mantle which has moved up above the sea level thereby exposing it to the surface. They usually form a part of the continental crustal rocks.
Ophiolites are important and greatly influence Geologists having an idea about the composition of ocean crust.
Divergent boundaries move oceanic plates (plates found in the ocean) away from each other, making magma seep in to fill those cracks, thus spreading the sea floor.
