Question

A ramp slopes from a warehouse door down to the street the height of the ramp is 5 feet and the ramp ends 10 feet from the base of the warehouse what is the slope of tge ramp

Answer 1

This is a right triangle problem so you will be using sin,cos, tan formulas. You are given the base and height of the triangle and asked for the angle that the ramp makes with the ground. Use the tanФ = opposite/adjacent formula. Plugging in the values you get tanФ = 5/10. Solving for Ф you end up with 26.6 degrees

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

Slope is rise over run, the rise is height and run is length horizontally; so the slope of this ramp is

5 /10 = 1 /2 .
