A ramp is needed to allow vehicles to climb a 2-foot wall. The angle of elevation in order for the vehicles to safely go up must be 30° or less, and the longest ramp available is 5 feet long. Can this ramp be used safely? (Compute first then check if the angle is less than 30°)

• Yes, because the angle of elevation is less than 30°

• No, because the angle of elevation is more than 30°

• Yes, but the angle of elevation is equal to 30°

• No, but the angle of elevation is equal to 30°
