In this lab, you will use mathematics to understand equity and design wheelchair ramps. Wheelchair ramps are an important part of society because they improve access for physically disabled and handicap persons and elderly individuals. They are also cost-effective and practical solutions that enhance mobility for us all.

Using your knowledge of ramps, you will submit your designs and mathematical computations.

You can access the full lab assignment here.
