It is a plane...............that is inclined. Seriously, I'm not joking.
The inclined plane was used by prehistoric peoples. Though they did not understand it as we do, they knew what could be accomplished with it. In this light, the inclined plane was not "invented" by anyone. Only later as our knowledge of science grew did we come to "tag" this simple machine with the name by which it is now known.
A simple machine made of a slanted surface is called an 'inclined plane'. It is used to reduce the amount of force required to move an object by increasing the distance over which the force is applied.
The six simple machines are: The inclined plane, the pulley, the screw, the wedge, the wheel and axle, and the lever.
A slope.
A ramp.
A gradient.

An inclined plane is just what its name suggests. It is an plane that is inclined (anlged) to be steep. To make an inclined plane, draw a right angle (90 degrees) and connect the two extended lines with a diagonal line. It should look like a triangle.
