Question

A company plans to build a wheelchair ramp with the following

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The height that would be allowed with a ramp 43.5 feet long is ...

  h = (43.5 ft)·sin(4.8°) ≈ 3.64 ft

The proposed height is less than 3.64 ft, so the ramp angle is less than 4.8°.

__

The ramp angle is actually arcsin(3/43.5) ≈ 3.95°, which is less than 4.8°.
