The type of land form that Caleb most likely draws is a hill. The answer is option C- a hill.

Step-by-step explanation:

Contour lines are drawn to represent the changes in the elevation which helps to know the slope of the figure drawn.
If the contour lines are drawn close, then steeper the figure is. And more distant the lines are drawn, then less steep the figure is.
Here, the lines seem to be likely circle in shape. The distance of the outermost contour line is 20 ft. The next inner lines will have reduced values of 20 ft.
Therefore, the elevation gets reduced from higher to lower points which provides a diagram of a hill. Since there is no continuous high and low elevations, this cannot be a valley (a range of mountains).
Furthermore, The contour diagram for option A and D such as creek(water stream) or shoreline will have different and mixed values of elevations that seems to be a messy structure of contour lines.

A car's speedometer has a percent error of 5%. The speedometer currently shows that the car is traveling at a speed of 60 mph.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The actual speed of the car is either 57 mph or 63 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The measured speed o the car = 60 mph

The percentage error in speedometer = 5 %

Let The actual speed of car = x mph

Now, percentage error = $\dfrac{\textrm actual value - \textrm measured value}{\textrm measured value}$ × 100

So, $\frac{5}{100}$ = $\frac{x - 60}{60}$

or, $\frac{5}{100}$ × 60 = x - 60

Or, 3 = x - 60

∴ x = 63 mph

Hence The actual speed of the car is either 57 mph or 63 mph . Answer

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

9/12 or 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first add the choices all up.

5+4+3= 12.

We have 12 movie choices in total.

Now, we know that we have 3 drama movie choices...so the chance we will choose drama is 3/12, but we are not finding that. We want the chance she will NOT choose drama, so that would be 9/12.

*Since the chance she will choose drama is 3/12, the chance she will not choose is 9/12. 9+3 is 12, the total amout.*

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given angles are different measures and total less than 90°. That means the third angle will be more than 90°, an obtuse angle. Since all of the angles are different, the triangle is scalene.

ΔLMN is an obtuse scalene triangle
