For preschool/school-age, what is the vertical height of the sides of an open chute with a curved cross section?

  1. 4 inches

  2. 5 inches

  3. 6 inches

  4. 7 inches

The correct answer is: 4 inches

The vertical height of the sides of an open chute with a curved cross section for preschool/school-age children is 4 inches. This is because the side height of the chute should be at a level that is easy and safe for young children to climb and slide down, and a height of 4 inches allows for a gentle slope that is not too steep or too shallow. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they are either too high or too low, which could make it difficult or unsafe for preschool/school-age children to use the chute. Option B is too high, option C is too low, and option D is also too high. Overall, the answer of 4 inches is the most suitable height for young children to use the chute comfortably.
