Juwan boards a Ferris wheel at the 3-o'clock position and rides the Ferris wheel for multiple revolutions. The Ferris wheel rotates at a constant angular speed. Let hh represent Juwan's height above the center of the Ferris wheel (in feet) and let t represent the number of mintues since the ride started. Suppose the radius of the Ferris wheel is 20 feet and the Ferris wheel rotates at 1 radian per minute. Plot the relationship between h and t for this scenario.

question:

could we have options?

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
