I need help figuring how to find a ramp distance using sin and tan, etc. Please direct my steps on this.

An architect designs a wheelchair ramp for a historical building. The entry way is a level platform at the top of stairs that are 3 meters above ground leveland extend 4 m out from the building. There is an obstacle 25 m from the stairs, and the city code for ramps limits the incline angle to 6.They want us to figure if there is sufficient distance for a ramp within this limit and How do you know.

Yes, because the ratio of (4 over 25) 4/25 is less than tan6.

No, because the ratio of 3 over 25 is greater than tan6.

No, because the ratio of 4 over 25 is greater than sin6.

Yes, because the ratio of 3 over 25 is less than sin6.
