What is Ramp Length?

Ramp length refers to the distance along the inclined surface of a ramp. It is calculated based on the height of the ramp and the angle of inclination. This measurement is crucial for designing ramps that are safe and accessible.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ RL = \frac{5}{\sin(30)} = 10 \text{ ft} \]

The Ramp Length is 10 ft.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ RL = \frac{8}{\sin(45)} = 11.3137 \text{ ft} \]

The Ramp Length is 11.3137 ft.
