Help!

Hey everyone,

In class we have been learning about the slope formula, and you might not think it applies in the real world. I assure you it does! In order to make all buildings handicap accessible handicap ramps are being installed all over the country. Consider the following regulations


You are a construction site manager. You want to make a ramp for a set of stairs that is 3 feet tall. What is the shortest distance you can make the ramp length, while still being safe? Bring in your answers to class, and be prepared to discuss your reasoning.

Use the following diagram to help you in your ramp design.


See you all in class tomorrow!
