Answer:
A. 4.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that,
The horizontal distance for the ramp = 12 feet.
Maximum height of the ramp = 1 feet.
So, we get that the value of the angle 'x' made by the ramp with the ground is given by,
[tex]\tan x=\frac{perpendicular}{base}[/tex]
i.e. [tex]\tan x=\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
i.e. [tex]\tan x=0.0833[/tex]
i.e. [tex]x=\arctan 0.0833[/tex]
i.e. x = 4.8°
Thus, the maximum angle made by the ramp with the ground is 4.8°.
