Guests at an amusement park must be at least 54 inches tall to be able to ride the roller coaster. Which graph represents the set of heights that satisfy this requirement? A number line going from 50 to 58. An open circle is at 53. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded.
A number line going from 50 to 58. An open circle is at 54. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded.
A number line going from 50 to 58. A closed circle is at 54. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded.
A number line going from 50 to 58. A closed circle is at 55. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded.

Given:

Guests at an amusement park must be at least 54 inches tall to be able to ride the roller coaster.

To find:

The graph that represents the set of heights that satisfy this requirement.

Solution:

Let x be the height required for the ride.

Guests must be at least 54 inches tall to be able to ride the roller coaster. It means required height is greater than or equal to 54.

So, 54 and all values above 54 are in the solution set.

Since, 54 is included in the solution set, therefore there is a closed circle at 54. All values above 54 are in the solution set, so everything to the right of the circle is shaded.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
