Answer:

The angle between the ramp and the horizontal is 11.54 degrees

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the angle between the ramp and the horizontal

What we have to do here is to bring the measure of 2 m near to the edge leftwards, so we can have a right triangle

Now, the angle we want to calculate is the angle that faces the measure 2 m

The given measure of 10 m will represent the hypotenuse of the right triangle

The trigonometric ratio that links the hypotenuse and the opposite is the sine

The sine is the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

Thus, we have it that;

sin theta = opp/hyp

sin theta = 2/10

sin theta = 0.2

theta = sin^-1 0.2

theta = 11.54
