Given:

The height is 7 ft.

The length of the ramp is 22 ft.

To find the angle:

Using the trigonometric ratio,


\begin{gathered} \sin \theta=\frac{Opp}{\text{Hyp}} \\ \sin \theta=(7)/(22) \\ \theta=\sin ^(-1)((7)/(22)) \\ \theta=18.55 \\ \theta\approx18.6^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Hence, the angle is 18.6 degrees.
