The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the slope of a wheelchair ramp be no greater than 1:12. Which of the following is the minimum length of a ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
18 feet
Rationale:
The ADA guideline says that for every 1 foot of rise, you need at least 12 feet of ramp.
So for 1.5 feet of rise:
1.5 × 12 = 18 feet
Therefore, the ramp should be at least 18 feet long.
