What is the height of the Ramp bricks?
MrLoganator111:
All of these math equations and stuff when you can just put a 1x1 brick up next to it and figure out that its height is 1.

No, I'm asking for the height of where the slope is, not the flat part.

Take the 25 degree ramp.
First, we need to find the hypotenuse of the ramp, because the lip messes it up.
The 45 degree has a triangle length of 1 brick.
Here is the formula:
Cosθ=a/h
Let a=the length of the ramp (here it is 1)
Let h=the hypotenuse
Let θ=the angle of the ramp.
.:
Cos(45)=(1)/h
1/cos(45)=h
H~1.414 brick lengths long
Now, we find the height of the ramp triangle, unfortunately in brick lengths, not height. We need to figure out the conversion factor for that.
Here is the formula:
Sinθ=o/h
Let o=the height of the ramp triangle
Let h=the hypotenuse of the ramp triangle
Let θ=the angle of the ramp
.:
Sin(45) = o/(1.414)
(1.414)sin(45) = o
o = .99984 brick lengths.
Once we figure out the brick length to brick height in plates conversion factor, we cause this formula.
X-(Y*Z) = Q
Where X is the ramp brick's height in plates
Where Y is the height of the ramp Brock's triangle in brick lengths (here it is .99984 Bl)
Where Z is the conversion factor in terms of (Brick Heights in plates per Brick Length; Bh/Bl)
Where Q is the height of the ledge.
Now someone figure out the length-to-height conversion factor.

Wow thanks, I am a little confused around some parts but I will just mess around with it. Thanks!

Figure it out!
Id say between 1 and 2/3

That's not figuring it out, that's limiting the range, which any non-banned blockland member could figure out just by looking at a ramp brick.
