You can put this solution on YOUR website!
grade of ramp is 1 mm of height for every 14 mm of length
height of platform is 1450mm high
length of ramp would be height+%2F+%28%28height%2Flength%29%29
this equals 1450+%2F+%28%281%2F14%29%29 which equals %28%281450+%2A+14%29%29%2F1
this equals 20300 mm
