The angle of inclination of the ramp is 0.13°.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is mainly concerned with specific functions of angles and their application to calculations. Trigonometry deals with the study of the relationship between the sides of a triangle (right-angled triangle) and its angles.

For the given situation,

The diagram shows the measures of ramp.

The length of the ramp, hypotenuse side = 45 feet

Height of the stairs, opposite side = 6 feet

According to trigonometry ratio, the ratio that links the hypotenuse and opposite side is sin θ.

⇒ [tex]sin \theta=\frac{opposite }{hypotenuse}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]sin \theta=\frac{6}{45}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\theta=sin^{-1}(0.1333)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\theta=0.1337[/tex] ≈ [tex]0.13[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the angle of inclination of the ramp is 0.13°.
