To build a ramp at 5% angle to a 5 foot height. How long would the ramp be?
Right-angled triangle a, b, c.
The height is b. opposite side
b = 5 foot
The basis of the ramp is a. adjacent side
The slope of the ramp is tan β = 5 % = 0,05.
a = b / tan β
a = 5 foot / 0,05 = 100 foot
The basis of the ramp is a = 100 foot.
The length of the ramp is c. hypotenuse
c = √(a² + b²) = (√(100² + 5²)) foot = 100,125 foot
The length of the ramp is c = 100,125 foot
