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.
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
