A business is building a handicap accessible ramp at the entrance of the building. They want the slope to be a 1:10 ratio. In 1 - 2 sentences, explain how to find the angle of elevation of the ramp. What is the angle of elevation to the nearest tenth of a degree? Show all your work.(3 points)
To find the angle of elevation of the ramp, you can use the formula: angle = arctan(slope). Since the slope is 1:10, the angle = arctan(1/10) = arctan(0.1) = 5.7 degrees. The angle of elevation is 5.7 degrees to the nearest tenth of a degree.
