If there is a positive correlation between number of years studying math and shoe size ​(for children), does that prove that lar

ger shoes cause more studying of math​, or vice​ versa? Can you think of a hidden variable that might be influencing both of the other​ variables?

Answer:

The hidden variable is age.

Step-by-step explanation:

That does not prove that  larger shoes cause more studying math or vice versa.

The children with larger shoes are most probably older  so they would have done  more years of studying than the younger ones.

The hidden variable is the age of the child.

Greeley [361]

Complete Question:

Johnny printed two maps of a walking trail near his home. The length of the walking trail on the first map is 8 cm.

(a) Choose a length between 5 cm and 15 cm for the walking trail on the second map: ________cm.  

(b) Determine the scale factor from the first map to the second map.

(c)  A landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm. What are the side lengths of the triangle landmark on the second map?  

(d) Draw one of the triangles from part C. Label the side lengths and vertices accordingly. You may use this drawing tool or draw your triangle on paper:

Answer:

(a) Length = 4cm

(b) Scale factor = 0.5

(c) 3cm, 4cm and 5cm are represented by 1.5cm, 2cm and 2.5cm respectively, on the second scale

(d) See attachment for triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Choose a length between 5 cm and 15 cm

Length =4cm <em>--- This is solely up to you (you can make use of any length between 5 cm and 15 cm)</em>

(b) The scale factor

The scale factor (k) is calculated as:

k = \frac{New\ Length}{Old\ Length}

k = \frac{4cm}{8cm}\\

k = 0.5

(c) What are side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm on the second landmark

Using:

k = \frac{New\ Length}{Old\ Length}

The old lengths, in this case are: 3cm, 4cm and 5cm

Make New length the subject

New\ Length = k * Old\ Length

When Length = 3cm

New\ Length = 0.5 * 3cm = 1.5cm

When Length = 4cm

New\ Length = 0.5 * 4cm = 2cm

When Length = 5cm

New\ Length = 0.5 * 5cm = 2.5cm

So: 3cm, 4cm and 5cm are represented by 1.5cm, 2cm and 2.5cm respectively, on the second scale

(d) See attachment for triangle

A woman walks 5 rounds along the border of a square field of area 49². Find the total distance she walks in m.​
Luba_88 [7]
You need to estimate the square root of 200 ft². Rewrite 200 as 2 x 100, then square root of (2*100) is:

10*sqrt(2). The sqrt(2) = 1.414, so the length of each side of the square will be 10*1.414 = 14.14 ft or about 14 ft.
