Urban rail systems have been proposed to alleviate traffic congestion, but results in many cities have been cited as evidence th

at this approach to traffic management is ineffective. For example, a U.S. city that opened three urban rail branches experienced a net decline of 3,100 urban rail commuters during a period when employment increased by 96,000. Officials who favor urban rail systems as a solution to traffic congestion have attempted to counter this argument by noting that commuting trips in that city represent just 20 percent of urban travel.
The response of the officials to the claim that urban rail systems are ineffective is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
A) presents no evidence to show that the statistics are incorrect
B) relies solely on general data about U.S. cities rather than data about the city in question
C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion
D) fails to show that the decline in the number of urban rail commuters in one U.S. city is typical of U.S. cities generally
E) provides no statistics on the use of urban rail systems by passengers other than commuters

Answer:

C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is - C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion

Reason -

Option A is incorrect because the statistics can not be incorrect.

Option B is incorrect because they are not talking about the city.

Option C is correct because Urban rail reduces congestion.

Option D is incorrect because the opposers cited the example of one city and the supporters are presenting evidence in the case of that city itself.

Option E is incorrect because they are providing an explanation for why the commuters data given by opposers is not relevant. The opposers talked about commuters.

From his eye, which stands 1.59 meters above the ground, Francisco measures the
viva [34]

The height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.

<h3>How to determine the height</h3>

From the information given, we have:

  • angle of elevation = 32°
  • length of the base, adjacent side = 376 meters
  • height of the skyscraper, opposite side = x meters

To determine the height of the elevator, let's use the tangent identity

We have that;

tan θ = opposite/ adjacent

The value of the opposite side is 'x' which is the height of the skyscraper and the value of the adjacent side is 376 meters which is the length of the base of the skyscraper

Now, substitute the values, we have;

tan 32 = x/ 376

cross multiply

x = tan 32 × 376

x = 0. 6249 × 376

x = 234. 95 meters

We know that the 'x' represents the opposite side and thus the height of the skyscraper

Thus, the height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.

Help please ASAP thx all of them
Radda [10]
Hi, these equations are pretty easy actually, first thing you should know when working with variables is that you always want to leave the variable alone, let's take the third excersise for example, 12x + 2 = 146. Here you just do the opposite on the other side of the equation depending if the number is positive or negative. Since x is being multiplied by 12 you first get rid of the 2, since its positive you subtract it to 146. Now the answer should be 12x = 144. Now since you're multiplying 12 to x you just divide 12 from 144, 144/12 = 12
x = 12
