Answer:

44.65 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of ramp = 16 inches

Length of ramp, l

Angle formed by ramp and ground = 21°

Using Pythagoras :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

Sin21° = 16 / l

0.3583679 = 16 / l

0.3583679 * l = 16

l = 16 / 0.3583679

l = 44.646855 inches

Hence, length of ramp is 44.65 inches
