The slope is equivalent to the rise over run. Since the slope of the bike ramp is ¼, the rise is equivalent to 1 and the run is equivalent to 4. To get the angle of the bike ramp make with the ground, let us use the equation tanθ= rise/run.

Therefore, tanθ= ¼.  

Θ=tan-1 (1/4)

So the angle of the bike ramp is Θ= 14degrees
