MODELING WITH MATHEMATICS The Uniform
Federal Accessibility Standards specify that a
wheelchair ramp may not have an incline greater
than 4.76°. You want to build a ramp with a vertical
rise of 8 inches. You want to minimize the horizontal
distance taken up by the ramp. Draw a diagram
showing the approximate dimensions of your ramp.

The length of the ramp is  96.5

SOH CAH TOA identity

Given the following parameters from the question

The vertical rise of the ramp = 8 inches

The angle of elevation =  4.76°.

Required

length of the ramp

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity;

tan theta = opp/hyp

sin4.76 = 8/H
H = 8/sin4.76

H = 8/0.0829

H = 96.5

Hence the length of the ramp is  96.5
