    Answer:

    6 feets

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Height of ramp = 7feets

    θ = 28°

    Length of ramp = x

    Using trigonometric relation :

    Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

    Sin 28 = 3 / x

    0.4694715 = 3 / x

    0.4694715x = 3

    x = 3 / 0.4694715

    x = 6.39 feets

    The length of the ramp = 6 feets
