Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Independent variable (IV): something the scientist can change.
Thus, in this case, the IV can be the weight of the person.
The aides of a right triangle will always satisfy the Pythagorean relationship ...
a² + b²= c²
We can take each of these and try it out:
(1) ... 10² + 24² = 100 + 576 = 676
√676 = <em>26 Yes</em>.
(2) ... 12² + 18² = 144 + 324 = 468
√468 = 21.6, not 20. <em>No.</em>
(3) ... 15² + 26² = 225 + 676 = 901
√901 = 30.017 Awfully close. As an engineer, I'll buy this one. <em>Yes.</em>
(4) ... 40² + 50² = 1,600 + 2,500 = 4,100
√4,100 = 64.03, not 80.<em> No.</em>
Answer: Switch a with c and you are good. I think that is what you are asking?
