Answer:

A spurious correlation wrongly implies a cause and effect between two variables. For example, the number of astronauts dying in spacecraft is directly correlated to seatbelt use in cars: Use your seatbelt and save an astronaut life!

Interesting correlations are easy to find, but many will turn out to be spurious. Three examples are the skirt length theory, the Super Bowl indicator, and a suggested correlation between race and college completion rates.

You're given a side length of 8 centimeters. How many equilateral triangles can you construct using this information

goblinko [34]

Answer:

1 equilateral triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Equilateral Triangle

Side length = 8cm

Required

Determine the number of triangles

From the question, we understand that the triangle is equilateral and the length of a side is 8cm.

This implies that the length of other sides will also be 8cm.

So, only one triangle can be constructed and their side lengths is 8cm.
