Question
Riyaz researched wooden roller coasters for a project. The fastest one is Goliath at 72 mph, followed by Wildfire at 71.5 mph, then El Toro at 70 mph. When he looked up their heights, Wildfire was 183.8 ft. tall, Goliath was 165 ft. tall, and El Toro was 181 ft. tall. What is the speed of El Toro and the height of Goliath?(1 point)

To find the speed of El Toro and the height of Goliath, we can create a scatter plot using the given information.
Plot the points (70, 181) for El Toro and (72, 165) for Goliath on a graph with height on the y-axis and speed on the x-axis.
Next, we can estimate the speed of El Toro by looking at the height of Goliath and vice versa. From the scatter plot, we can see that the speed of Goliath is between 71 and 72 mph, while the height of El Toro is between 170 and 180 ft.
Therefore, the speed of El Toro is approximately 71 mph and the height of Goliath is approximately 165 ft.
