Answer:

10.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length of the ramp which is leaning against the building,

Given,

The ramp makes a 15 degree angle with the ground.

Also, the distance of one end of ramp from the base of the building = 10 feet,

A building is generally supposed to perpendicular the ground,

Hence, By making the diagram,

We get,

cos 15^{\circ}=\frac{10}{l}   ( Trigonometric ratio ),

\implies l = \frac{10}{cos 15^{\circ}}=10.3527618041\approx 10.4

Therefore, the ramp is approximately 10.4 feet long.
