In order to meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements, a wheelchair ramp must have an angle of elevation of no mor

e than 4.8∘. A builder needs to install a ramp to reach a door that is 1.5 feet off the ground. What angle of elevation will this ramp have?
Is 25 feet long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirements? What angle of elevation will this ramp have?

Answer:

a. The angle of elevation should be less than 4.8 ° since that is the maximum standard.

b. The angle of elevation is 3.4°.  25 ft is long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirement .  

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard required angle of elevation must have an angle of elevation not more than 4.8°.

A builder needs to install the ramp to reach a door that is 1.5 ft off the ground . The angle of elevation can be calculated as follows :

The illustration forms a right angle triangle .

opposite side = 1.5 ft

adjacent side = a

The angle of elevation should be less than 4.8 ° since that is the maximum standard.

Is 25 feet long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirements? What angle of elevation will this ramp have?

opposite side = 1.5 ft

adjacent side = 25 ft

∅ = angle of elevation

Using SOHCAHTOA principle

tan ∅ = 1.5/25

∅ =  arctan 0.06

∅ = 3.433630362

The angle of elevation is 3.4°.  

25 ft is long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirement .

What is the mode and mean for class A and the range and medium for class B????
melamori03 [73]
Hello!

First you have to list the data in both classes

Class A
41, 42, 45, 46, 47, 48, 52, 53, 54, 59, 61, 61, 64, 68, 71, 82, 85, 90

Class B
41, 42, 59, 62, 64, 69, 71, 75, 77, 78, 78, 80, 83, 84, 84, 86, 86, 87, 92, 92, 95
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First we are going to find the mode and mean of class A

The mode is the number that appears the most

The number that appears the most is 61

The mode is 61

To find the mean you add all the numbers together and divide the sum by the amount of numbers added

41 + 42 + 45 + 46 + 47 + 48 + 52 + 53 + 54 + 59 + 61 + 61 + 64 + 68 + 71 + 82 + 85 + 90 = 1069

Divide this by the amount of numbers added

1069 / 18 = 59.3888...

The mean is 59.3888

The mode is 61 and the mean is 59.39 for class A
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are going to find the range and median for class B

To find the range you subtract the smallest number from the largest on

The smallest number is 41
The largest number is 95

Subtract these

95 - 41 = 54

The range is 54

To find the median you list the numbers from least to greatest and look for the number in the middle

41, 42, 59, 62, 64, 69, 71, 75, 77, 78, 78, 80, 83, 84, 84, 86, 86, 87, 92, 92, 95

The number in the middle is 78

The range is 54 and the median is 78
