For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
 We know:
 Angle between the base and the hypotenuse of the triangle.
 Length of the base
 We want to know:
 Triangle height
 For this, we use the following trigonometric relationship:
 [tex]tan (22) = x / 32 [/tex]
 Clearing x we have:
 [tex]x = 32 * tan (22) x = 12.9 feet[/tex]
 Rounding to the nearest foot:
 [tex]x = 13 feet [/tex]
 Answer:
 
The ramp is 13 feet high
