(see figure) for a business. Using your knowledge of right-triangle trigonometry, help advise him how to create a ramp whose dimensions will meet the specification needed that will allow wheelchair accessibility. Talk about the procedure the contractor will need to follow to find the dimensions of the three sides and the measurements of the three angles. Consider the implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in your discussion and provide an example.
Basic issue is the maximum safe ramp angle. If you know the height difference then you can find the length of ramp by the following relationship:
ramp length = (height change) / sin (ramp angle)
suppose the height difference is 4 ft, and safe maximum ramp angle is 10 degree (I don't know this angle is correct, you need to look this up at ADA website). Then the length of ramp is:
ramp length = 4 / sin 10 = 23 ft.

Charlevoix Courier - News - Parking problem percolating in ...
&Ldquo;I really think it’s probably poor judgment on the part of the elected officials to take prime parking spots when handicapped people have to walk across the parking lot,” he said. “I don’t mind them reserving the spots on the other side (north end) of the parking lot and maybe turn those (current reserved spots) into handicapped parking.” But what irritates me most about this whole thing is how petty the complaint is. Are you really that concerned about the parking at the Township or are you just being an irritable busy body like the two people who complained in the above article? It's a parking lot! And a much nicer parking lot than many township halls have...
