Carlos has a nail in his car tire. The tire is not flat, but he's on his way to get it fixed. He's driving at a constant speed, and the diameter of the tire is 3 feet. Which rule could model the height of the nail from the ground?

a) f(x)=1.5cos(16πx)+1.5
b) f(x)=1.5cos(16πx)−1.5
c) f(x)=3cos(16πx)+3
d) f(x)=16πcos(1.5x)+3

Statement reason 1. δabc is similar to δced. given 2. 3. definition of slope 4. slope of slope of definition of slope 5. slope of × slope of multiplying the slopes 6. slope of × slope of substitution property of equality 7. slope of × slope of simplifying the right side the table contains the proof of the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines. what is the reason for statement 2? a. parallel line segments that meet a common perpendicular line are proportional in length. b. the lengths of vertical and horizontal sides in congruent triangles are in a common ratio. c. trigonometric identities determine the lengths of the legs in a right triangle. d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.
