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 level and 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 6º. Is there sufficient distance for a ramp within this limit? How do you know? O Yes, because the ratio of O No, because the ratio of O No, because the ratio of is less than tan 6º. is greater than sin 6º. is greater than tan 6º. O Yes, because the ratio of is less than sin 6º.
