By law, a wheelchair service ramp may be inclined no more than . If the base of a ramp begins 15 feet from the base of a public building, which equation could be used to determine the maximum height, h, of the ramp where it reaches the building's entrance

The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question given is lacking an information. Here is the correct question.

"By law, a wheelchair service ramp may be inclined no more than 4.76 degrees. If the base of the ramp begins 15 feet from the base of a public building, which equation could be used to determine the maximum height, h, of the ramp where it reaches the building's entrance"

The whole set up will give us a right angled triangle with the base of the building serving as the adjacent side of the triangle and the height h serving as the opposite side since it is facing the angle 4.76°

The side of the wheelchair service ramp is the hypotenuse.

Given theta = 4.76°

And the base of the building = adjacent = 15feet

We can get the height of the building using the trigonometry identity SOH CAH TOA.

Using TOA

Tan(theta) = opposite/Adjacent

Tan 4.76° = h/15

h = 15tan4.76°

The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°
