Answer:
a = 7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure has been re-labelled and attached to this response.
From the figure, the larger right triangle DAB and the small right triangle BCA are similar. This is because;
i. They have two corresponding congruent angles which are<em> the right angle</em>
and <em>angle B</em>
Therefore, we can say that;
<em>Cross multiply</em>
a x a = 13 x 4
a² = 52
a = √52
a = 7.2

<h3>How to interpret Cycle Graphs?</h3>
From the diagram attached, we can say that;
Period = 2π/k
where;
k = 2π/2.25
k = 8π/9
Thus;
h(t) = -(48/2) cos (8π/9)t + ((48/2) + 0.5)
h(t) = -24cos (8π/9)t + 24.5
Riders can see Niagara falls if they are higher than 41 meters above the ground. Thus;
41 = -24cos (8π/9)t + 24.5
41 - 24.5 = -24cos (8π/9)t
16.5 = -24cos (8π/9)t
-0.6875 = cos (8π/9)t
cos⁻¹0.6875 = (8π/9)t
t = 0.834 min
Thus, time interval is between;
0.834 < t < (2.25 - 0.834)
⇒ 0.834 < t < 1.416 and
(2.25 + 0.834) < t < (2.25 + 1.416)
⇒ (3.084, 3.666)
