What is the maximum height of the take-off/landing platform above the protective surface for school-age children?

  1. 18 inches max

  2. 24 inches max

  3. 36 inches max

  4. 48 inches max

The correct answer is: 36 inches max

While height may vary depending on local regulations and standards, the recommended maximum height for a take-off/landing platform above the protective surface for school-age children is 36 inches. Option A and B are incorrect as they fall below the recommended height, which may increase the risk of injury. Option D exceeds the recommended height and may also pose a safety hazard for school-age children. Overall, it is important to adhere to safety guidelines and regulations when determining the maximum height for playground equipment.
