For slides intended for preschool and school-age children, the vertical height of the sides must be no less than how many inches for slides with a circular, semi-circular or curved cross section?

  1. 3 inches

  2. 4 inches

  3. 5 inches

  4. 6 inches

The correct answer is: 4 inches

Slides intended for preschool and school-age children must have minimum vertical height of 4 inches if they have a circular, semi-circular or curved cross section. While options A, C, and D may seem plausible, they do not meet the minimum requirement. Option A (3 inches) may be too short for children of that age range, while option C (5 inches) and D (6 inches) may be unnecessarily tall and may pose a safety risk for younger children. Therefore, B (4 inches) is the most appropriate and safe height for slides intended for preschool and school-age children.
