To find:
The graph, that, best represents a participant in a triathlon, under giving conditions.
Answer to Problem 66PPE
Graph B that best represents a participant in a triathlon.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
In a triathlon, athletes swim 2.4 miles, bicycle 112 miles, and run 26 miles. Their total time include transition time from one activity to the next. Also given three below graphs that represent the participant:
As there are given three events, there will be two transition times from one activity to another activity, so most suitable graph, representing this situation will have two line segments, parallel to x axis, representing no change in distance covered as the time increases.
Conclusion:
As based on above fact, graph B best represents the given situation, showing two line segments parallel to x axis for a short duration of time.
