this is a right angle triangle problem
drawing a vertical line at from the point where the ramp touches the car park leaves a right angle triangle with the
opposite being 2m
hypothenus being 10m
adjacent unknown
we could use sine
SineO equal to opposite over hypothenus
SineO equal to 2/10
SineO equal to 0.2
O equal to Sine^1(0.2)
O equal to 11 .5
The angle between the ramp and the horizontal is 11.5 degrees

The angle between the ramp and the horizontal is 11.5 degrees.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

What is a right angle triangle?

A right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees.

Therefore, the angles can be found using trigonometric ratios,

sin ∅ = opposite / hypotenuse

sin ∅ = 2 / 10

sin ∅ = 1 / 5

∅ = sin⁻¹ 0.2

∅ = 11.5369590328

∅ = 11.5°

Therefore, the angle between the ramp and the horizontal is 11.5 degrees.
