Answer:

The area would increase 6 times

Explanation:

The area of the triangle can be calculated as follows:

area = $\frac{1}{2} * base * height$

Tripling the side lengths of a right triangle would mean that:

new base = 3 * base

new height = 3 * height

Substitute with the new values in the equation:

new area = $\frac{1}{2} * 3 * base * 3 * height$

new area = $6 (\frac{1}{2} * base * height)$

Comparing the new area with the original one, we can conclude that by tripling the side lengths of the right triangle, the area of the triangle will increase 6 times.

Hope this helps :)

The area of the triangle will then be 9 times as great.

The formula of the area of a triangle is 1/2bh, so if the base has been tripled and the height has been tripled, you're essentially multiplying 3 to the original equation twice (3 x 3 = 9).

Answer:

Number of independent variables = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets stary with definitions. First of all, variables are properties, of an experiment that take on different amounts or values, rather than a constant that has one unchanging value assigned to it.

Now, we have two kinds of variables namely dependent and independent variables. For this question, we need to know independent variables. Independent variables are variables that could be manipulated at discretion. In the question, the independent variable is "the size of breakfast" because the experimenter chose by reason of choice to either use 350-calories or 750- calories breakfast.

However, the dependent variables are those whose outcomes are with respect to the change in the independent variable. The experiment is actually out to observe how the dependent variable plays out during the experiment. In our example, the dependent variable is "overall food consumption throughout the rest of the day". Thus, the outcome of the overall food consumption throughout the rest of the day is as a result of the size of breakfast taken.

Now, the independent variable can take on various levels, and the number of levels are the number of experimental conditions that the independent variables can take. In our example the independent variable (size of breakfast), was either 350-calories breakfast or 750-calories breakfast, hence it took 2 experimental conditions.

Thus, we say that number of independent variables is 2.

Answer:

You can buy 7 additional donuts

Step-by-step explanation:

$0.50 times 7 is $3.50 and $7.50 plus $3.50 is $11 dollars so you would be able to get 7 additional donuts

Not sure if im right. the random variable would be new jobs?

IRINA_888 [86]

Actually, the random variable in this case would represent the company. You can think of the random variable as an independent variable. If $X=1$ represents Lowe's, $X=2$ represents Intel, and so on, then the independent variable would be some given company and the dependent variable would be the number of new jobs pertaining to company $x$ .
