In order to solve this problem, you must draw a right triangle first to help you visualize the path of the jogger. 
You are given 0.5 miles north (which will be the height of the right triangle), and 1.3 miles (which will be the hypotenuse of the triangle). 
Using Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c², we have:
0.5² + b² = 1.3²
b = 1.3²-0.5²
b = 1.2 miles

The volume of the rectangular prism is 60x^3 + 145x^2 + 70x. Factor to find the possible expressions for length, width and heigh
tester [92]
The volume of the rectangular prism:
V=length\cdot width\cdot height=lwh

60x^3 + 145x^2 + 70x=5x(12x^2+29x+14)\\\\=5x(12x^2+21x+8x+14)=5x[3x(4x+7)+2(4x+7)]\\\\=5x(4x+7)(3x+2)\\\\Answer:\\length=5x\\width=4x+7\\height=3x+2

Adam has the scatterplot shown for his data set, where snowfall is measured in inches, and he is trying to describe the line of
MissTica

Answer:

C) As the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

An image showing the scatter plot is attached.

From the attached imaged, the scatter plot is a straight line which goes up along the X - Y axis.

X = snowfall

Y = accident

Since the scatter plot is going up increasingly for any value plotted; it means as the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases. That is, as X (snowfall) increases Y (accident) increases also.

Shade in some or all of the grids to show that 2 ones is the same as 20 tenths
scZoUnD [109]
Given three grids with each grid representing one whole.
Each grid represents 1 ones and each vertical bar of a grid represent 1 tenth.
There are 10 vertical bars in each grid, hence each grid represent 1 ones = 10 tenths and 2 grids represent 2 ones = 20 tenths.

Therefore, two complete grids are to be shaded to <span>show that 2 ones is the same as 20 tenths</span>
