Answer:

The correct option is option a. an extra variable that could explain result differences between groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confusion variables, also called third variables, are variables that the investigator did not control or did not eliminate and that damage the internal validity of an experiment, that is, the degree to which the results are valid.

The dependent and independent variables are the two main variables of any experiment or investigation. The independent is one that changes or is controlled to study its effects on the dependent variable. The dependent is that variable that is investigated and measured.

Confusion variables may cause the investigator to analyze the results incorrectly. The results may show a false correlation between dependent and independent variables.

So the correct option is option a. an extra variable that could explain result differences between groups.

This is because this additional variable that was not controlled or taken into account during the experimental study modifies the result. And the other groups that conducted the experiment and took into account the variable will have different results because they take into account other independent variables.

Answer:

The answer is "12 inches".

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the image file of the graph.

We know $AE = CF \ and \ EB = FB$ so because the triangle is isosceles.

$EB = 2x, FB = 2x,\ and \ CF = x$ when $AE$ is called by $x$ .

We know that $AE = AD = x$ since E and D are tangent points to a circle.

They have $CD = CF = x$ since D and F are tangent points only to circle.

Thus, if the perimeter is 32, the following is the result:

$\to AE + EB + BF + FC + CD + DA = 32\\\\\to x + 2x + 2x + x + x + x = 32\\\\\to 8x = 32\\\\\to x = 4$

Therefore the length of $BC = BF + FC = 2x + x = 3x = 12\ inches$

Move point b some more as you move point b the angle formed between ab and cd varies if you want to make an perpendicular to cd

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Following are the response to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Move b a bit further if the angle between cd and ab changes when you move b if you want to make a perpendicular point to cd The angle BEC is 90 ° for making the AB line perpendicular to the line CD to transfer point B to the angle between the two lines.
