carpentry is not at all what I like to do.

but im building a ramp and now im stuck. so this is the deal.

I cant figure out the angle to cut my 2x6 side runners so that they and my ply wood sheet meet the ground at the same time.

any help would be appreciated.

flame suit, ON!
you cant read the picture but the ramp is 5 feet long, the shed is 1ft off the ground, and im using 2x6's

the red circled area is the angle I cannot get.
