Question

to ride a roller coaster, the rider must be at least 48 inches tall. which inequality represents the height in inches ( i ) that makes a rider tall enough to ride the roller coaster?
a) ( i < 48 )
b) ( i > 48 )
c) ( i leq 48 )
d) ( i geq 48 )

Explanation:

Step1: Understand "at least"

"At least 48" means the height \( i \) is greater than or equal to 48.

Step2: Match inequality

The inequality \( i \geq 48 \) represents "greater than or equal to 48".

Answer:

D. \( i \geq 48 \)
