A wheelchair ramp has an angle of 6 degrees,side length 29ft and height 3ft.

For a safe ramp,the ratio of vertical distance: horizontal distance needs to be less than 1:12. Would the ramp be considered a safe ramp?

Please show me how to do this! Thank you

safe ramp:
tanØ = 1/12
Ø = 4.76°

Since your angle is greater than that, it is not safe
