Shania needs a wheelchair ramp to access her house. She has a length of 25 feet in which to locate the ramp and her front door is 1.5 feet above the ground. For safety, the angle a wheelchair ramp makes with the ground should be no more than 3.5°. To determine if her ramp will fit within the guidelines, find the angle it will make with the ground. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
