For slides no greater than 4 feet, the slide chute exit for preschool/school age children should be no more than how many inches above the protective surfacing?

  1. 11 inches

  2. 12 inches

  3. 9 inches

  4. 15 inches

The correct answer is: 11 inches

The correct answer, A 11 inches, is the most appropriate height for the exit of a slide chute for preschool/school age children. This is because the protective surfacing should be able to cushion their fall, and having the exit at this height ensures that they do not fall from a greater distance and potentially get injured. The other options, B: 12 inches, C: 9 inches, and D: 15 inches, are not as appropriate because they either increase the risk of injury or are too low for young children to easily slide down.
