Thomas -Always draw a SKETCH of the problem first ... it will really help to understand what the problem is asking.  Here is the sketch below:Now, it is pretty easy to see that the ramp is the hypotenuse of this right triangle, agree.Use the sin function to solve for the ramp length.Hope this helped
