For geometry we are doing a project where we find the necessary ramp guidelines provided by the ADA, and applied them to the project constraints that were enforced by the Ms. Stokes at the beginning of the project.
The ramp had to be 3 ft high and 3 ft wide. The ADA states that a ramp intended to be used by the handicap must have a slope ration of 1/12 at the steepest and the lowest is 1/20 to be considered in code.
To do this we had to sketch our design, then apply our sketch to real numbered values of length.
We had chair prototypes out of wooden sticks, but the chairs had to have geometric shapes that we learned about in class. But if we didn't have the exact degrees right for the chair, then it would be wobbly. Each angle and side had to be the exact right angles in order to be a well executed chair.
