Question

An inclined plane rises to a height of 2m over a distance of 6m calculate the angle of the slope​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run and, consequently, it is also the tangent ratio. the side measuring 2 is the height of the right triangle that is formed by the inclined plane (the hypotenuse), the height, and the base (the ground or surface that the plane is sitting on). If we use the tangent ratio,

`tan\theta=(2)/(6)=(1)/(3)` so

`tan^(-1)((1)/(3))=\theta` so

θ = 18.4 which is also the angle that makes that slope.
