Instructions
Background
Shirley likes designing skateboard equipment. After she completes her designs, she shares her construction plans with other skateboarders on her website.
She is experimenting with different ramp angles as she tries to find just the right combination for her new design.
Collect Data
Shirley needs the following data to help with her design. Make a Data Table on a piece of paper:
Data Table
Number of Blocks Ramp Angle
1 block
2 blocks
3 blocks
4 blocks
5 blocks
6 blocks
Use the MOVE tool 
to lift the ramp (by the yellow point at the end) and to move
blocks under the ramp to raise it for the measurements.
When you are ready to measure the angle between the ground and the ramp, use the MOVE tool to drag the protractor into place.
