Answer:
The ramp's horizontal distance is the distance in the x-axis. So the ramp's vertical distance I.e y-axis is 14 inches. And its length which is actually the hypotenuse ofthe right angled triangle 16 feet. But let's convert feet to inches first. 1 feet makes 12 inches Hence 16 feet makes 192 inches. From pythagoras a^2 =b^2 + c^2 where a the hypotenuse is 192 and b is 14. C is the ramp's horizontal distance. So we have (192)^2 = (14)^2 + c^2 C^2 = 192^2 - 14^2 = 36668 C = 191.48 From SOHCAHTOA. We have to use Sin So sin theta = (14/192) Theta = sin^(-1) (14/192) = 4.1815. Yes, it meets the FAC standard since the ramp's angle is less than 4.78
