a wheelchair ramp is being bulit for the enterance to a school. If the ramp makes a 4 degree angle with the ground and has horizontal length of 6m, determine the height of the ramp
To determine the height of the ramp, we can use trigonometry.
The angle of the ramp with the ground is 4 degrees.
We can use the tangent function to calculate the height of the ramp.
tan(4 degrees) = height / 6m
Rearranging the equation, we have:
height = 6m * tan(4 degrees)
Using a calculator, we find:
height ≈ 0.4189m
Therefore, the height of the ramp is approximately 0.4189 meters.
