Terrell Frazier · Answer 1

Having 2 meters and 25 meters legs and 3 meters and 30 meters legs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Priya thinks that an angle of elevation of 7 Degrees or less will be safe for a learner of bike riding.

Now, a 7-degree elevation angle in a right triangle will have a 3 : 25 ratio of its legs.

Therefore, the list of 2 right triangles that would be safe for a new rider will be having 2 meters and 25 meters legs and 3 meters and 30 meters legs.

I both cases the angle of elevation will be less than 7 degrees. (Answer)
