Answer:

Correct option: 2 -> sqrt(37)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to use the law of cosines. This law is used to find the third side of a triangle, when we have the two other sides and the angle between them.

The equation of the law of cosines is:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2 * a * b * cos(C)

So, we have that:

c^2 = 7^2 + 3^2 - 2 * 7 * 3 * (1/2)

c^2 = 49 + 9 - 21

c^2 = 37

c = sqrt(37)

Correct option: 2

Answer:

Experiment

Step-by-step explanation:

An observational study is a study where researchers simply collect data based on what is seen and heard and make inferences based on the data collected.

Whereas, Experimental studies are the ones where researchers introduce an intervention and study the effects.

Giovanna did not just collect data alone and make inferences based on the collected data, as is done during an observational study, but she studied the effects of the data that she collected by calculating the average driving duration for each route.

Hence we see that she conducted an Experimental study.

On the number line 0.2 would be located. Choose a answer to make a true statement.

Mariulka [41]

Um, there are no choices, so I'll just tell you were it'd be located

Since 0.2 isn't yet 1, but its value is more than 0, it would be located in the middle of 1 and 0.
