Lesson 2: Problem Solving App. A contractor is building a wheelchair ramp for a doorway that is 1.2 ft above the ground. To meet ADA guidelines, the ramp will make an angle of 4.8° with the ground.
Lesson 2: Problem Solving App. A.To the nearest hundredth of a foot, what is the horizontal distance covered by the ramp? Find BC. 4.8° 1.2’
Lesson 2: Problem Solving App. B.To the nearest hundredth of a foot, what is the length of the ramp? Find AC. 4.8° 1.2’
