We need to apply trigonometry for easy calculations.

Let Z represent the ramp.

sin x = wall divided by the ramp

Let x = 7°.

sin 7° = 2.5/Z

We now solve for Z.

Z = 2.5 ÷ sin 7°

Z = 20.5137726212

We round off to the nearest tenth of a foot. This means to round off to the ones place.

Z = 21 feet

Done.
