Answer:

12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

θ= 10°

Horizontal length is equivalent to the adjacent= 20 m

the height of the ramp is equivalent to the opposite=?

Applying SOH CAH TOA we have

using TOA

Tan θ= opp/adj

Tan 10= opp/20

opp= Tan(10)* 20

opp= 0.64836*20

opp= 12.96

Approximately the maximum height of the ramp is 12 m
