Question 1036469: A skateboard ramp is in the shape of a right triangle and has a base length of 6 feet and a height of 2.5 feet. What is the angle of elevation of the ramp to the nearest whole degree? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Using tan ratio =>
tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent
tan(θ) = 2.5/5
tan(θ) = 0.416
(θ) = 22.6 degrees
(θ) = 23 degrees.(nearest whole degree)
This is the angle of elevation.
Hope this helps :-)
