Answer: 16.56ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram of the triangle attached below, we can apply Pythagoras rule to calculate the length of the ramp.

From Pythagoras :

SOHCAHTOA

SOH

A = 25°, opposite = 7ft

Hypothenus = x

The hypothenus (x) represents the length of the ramp.

Sin A° = opposite ÷ hypothenus

Sin 25° = 7 ÷ x

0.4226 = 7 ÷ x

x = 7 ÷ 0.4226

x = 16.56ft.

Therefore, length of ramp = 16.56ft.
