Question

Ramps in a parking garage need to be steep. The maximum safe incline for a ramp is 8.5 degrees. Is this ramp safe? If not, provide dimensions that would make the ramp safe.

Answer 1

Answer:

The given ramp is not sake.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the ADA recommendations, a 1:12 slope is a safe ram, or about 5 degrees of incline.

In this case, we have a ramp with 8.5 degrees, which is almost double than the number for safe ramps.

Therefore, the given ramp is not safe.
