The length of one ramp is 16 feet. the vertical rise is 14 inches. estimate the ramps horizontal distance and its ramp angle. does this ram meet the uniform federal accessibility standards

The ramp's horizontal distance is the distance in the x-axis. So the ramp's vertical distance I.e y-axis is 14 inches. And its length which is actually the hypotenuse ofthe right angled triangle 16 feet. But let's convert feet to inches first. 1 feet makes 12 inches Hence 16 feet makes 192 inches. From pythagoras a^2 =b^2 + c^2 where a the hypotenuse is 192 and b is 14. C is the ramp's horizontal distance. So we have (192)^2 = (14)^2 + c^2 C^2 = 192^2 - 14^2 = 36668 C = 191.48 From SOHCAHTOA. We have to use Sin So sin theta = (14/192) Theta = sin^(-1) (14/192) = 4.1815. Yes, it meets the FAC standard since the ramp's angle is less than 4.78

Ican’t sorry i would if i could
