Answer:
9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal
let x be the longer median, then
=
( cross- multiply )
16x = 6 × 24 = 144 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = 9
The values that correctly models the scenario of the rollercoaster graph will be:
- Red (x) = 6 + 4 × cos(πx/6) if 0 ≤ x < 6
- Green (x) = -2.5 × cos(π(x - 6)/4) + 4.5
- Purple (x) = 3.5 - 3.5 × sin(π(x - 12.5)/5)
<h3>How does the
graph model the situation</h3>
From the complete question,
For Red (x) = 6 + 4 × cos(πx/6) if 0 ≤ x < 6
where at x = 0, Red(x) = 10,
at x = 5, Red(x) = 2.5
For Green (x) = -2.5 × cos(π(x - 6)/4) + 4.5 if 6 ≤ x < 10
where at x = 10, Green (x) = 7,
at x = 6, Green (x) = 2.0
For Purple (x) = 3.5 - 3.5 × sin(π(x - 12.5)/5) if 10 ≤ x ≤ 15
where at x = 10, Purple (x) = 7,
at x = 15, Purple (x) = 0
