Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

The products of chord lengths are the same for the intersecting chords:

  AQ×BQ = CQ×DQ

  6×12 = CQ×(38 -CQ)

This gives a quadratic in CQ:

  CQ² -38CQ +72 = 0 . . . . . write in standard form

  (CQ -2)(CQ -36) = 0 . . . . . factor the quadratic

  CQ = 2 or 36 . . . . . . . values of CQ that make the factors zero

The minimum length of CQ is 2 units. (DQ will be 36.)

The graph is misleading because the year’s interval is not constant. The first year to the second year, the gap is 1 year; in the second to the third year, the gap is 2; in the third to the fourth year is 4; and the fourth to the fifth year is 6.
