Eisenbeis/Ramp/Exercise

From Wikiversity

Dr. Eisenbeis wants to build a bicycle-ramp for her nephews Richy and Franky. The ramp shall rise along a circle arc of the length (everything in meter) =1,2 and reach a jumping height of h=0,2 (see image). What (implicit) condition does the angle α fulfill (the condition on α must be such that it could be solved using the bisection method, but this need not be performed)?
