The use zone in front of and to the side of a slide for preschool/school age should extend a minimum of how many feet from the perimeter of the equipment?

6 feet
5 feet
7 feet
8 feet

The correct answer is: 6 feet

The use zone in front of and to the side of a slide for preschool/school age should extend at least 6 feet from the perimeter of the equipment. This is important for ensuring the safety of children using the slide. Option B, 5 feet, is not enough space and could potentially lead to collisions or potential falls. Option C, 7 feet, and option D, 8 feet, are both larger than the recommended minimum but are not necessary and could use up unnecessary space on the playground. Therefore, option A, 6 feet, is the most appropriate and practical distance for the use zone in front of and to the side of a slide for preschool/school age.
