For school-age barriers greater than 48 inches, what is the minimum total height required?

  1. 29 inches

  2. 38 inches

  3. 48 inches

  4. 6 feet

The correct answer is: 38 inches

A 29 inches is incorrect because this height would not allow for the barrier to be taller than the minimum height requirement of 48 inches. B: 38 inches is the minimum total height required for school-age barriers greater than 48 inches. Any height shorter than 38 inches would not meet the requirement. C: 48 inches would only meet the minimum requirement, but does not account for any additional height needed to properly secure the barrier. D: 6 feet is incorrect because while it is taller than the minimum requirement, it is unnecessarily high and could be more difficult for children to safely use and maneuver around.
