The inclined plane was used by ancients, so no one is credited with "discovering" or "inventing" it. Ancient peoples used a "ramp" to raise things to a higher elevation, whether it was in pyramid building (or the construction of other structures), or just traveling a route. Ancient trade routes that force a traveler to gain altitude offer the so-called switchback to allow a gradual increase in elevation. This makes it easier for people and pack animals to get up over mountain barriers, and it is a "natural" application of the inclined plane. Pyramids were very awesome thanks to this "ramp"
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.
YeS stairs are an inclined plane
A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder
an inclined plane. Take out the steps on a staircase. It looks like a line that goes up at an angle right? That's basically what in inclined plane is. It is a basic function that exerts smaller amounts of energy over a longer period of time. In simpler terms, it makes going upstairs easier than climbing a ladder to the upper floor.
a teeter tooter is a wheel inclined plane

The inclined plane is a simple machine. Simple machines were invented because they allow people to do more work in easier ways.
The inclined plane is one of several simple machines that have been known to us since ancient times. No way to know where it was first used and who invented it. The inclined plane was already well known by the time of the ancient Egyptians (3000b.c.e.)
Yes, a hammer is a inclined plane. It's head, is the inclined plane.

its a inclined plane
It is a plane, and it is inclined.
a hatchet is a inclined plane
A ramp is an inclined plane because an inclined plane is a set of a surface set at an angle that is not a right angle. In which a ramp is an inclined plane!
Archimedes invented the six simple machines.
The thread running around the screw is an inclined plane. If you were to straighten it out, it would be an inclined plane. The screw itself can be considered a combination of wedge and inclined plane.
No, A screw is not an inclined plane
