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

  1. 18 inches

  2. 36 inches

  3. 7 inches

  4. 60 inches

The correct answer is: 36 inches

The maximum height for the take-off/landing platform above the protective surfacing for school-age children is 36 inches. Option A is incorrect because 18 inches is not the maximum height for school-age children; it may be appropriate for younger children. Option C is also incorrect because 7 inches is too low and may not provide adequate protection for school-age children. Option D is also incorrect because 60 inches is too high and may pose a safety risk for school-age children. It is important to follow the recommended guidelines for maximum height to ensure the safety of children while using playground equipment.
