Question

The maximum safe incline for the ramp is 8.5 degrees. Is this ramp safe?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the maximum safe incline for the ramp as 8.5 degrees.

Let x represent the steep angle of the given ramp.

We can go ahead and determine x as shown below;

`\begin{gathered} \tan x=(20)/(100) \\ x=\tan ^(-1)((20)/(100)) \\ x=11.31^(\circ) \end{gathered}`

We can see that the steep angle of the given ramp which is 11.31 degrees is more than the maximum safe incline for the ramp which is 8.5 degrees,
