Changes in temperature cause rock to expand (with heat) and contract (with cold). As this happens over and over again, the structure of the rock weakens. Over time, it crumbles.

Rocky desert landscapes are particularly vulnerable to thermal stress. The outer layer of desert rocks undergo repeated stress as the temperature changes from day to night. Eventually, outer layers flake off in thin sheets, a process called exfoliation.

If the diameter of a circle changes from 5 cm to 15 cm, how will the circumference change? A) multiplies by 1 3 B) multiplies by

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The length of a circumference: l=πD
l₁=π×5=5π
l₂=π×15=15π
Then l₂÷l₁=15π÷5π=3 and the answer is B)

What is the area of the composite figure whose vertices have the following coordinates? (−2, −2) , (3, −2) , (5, −4) , (1, −8) ,

Luden [163]

Check the picture below.

notice the composite is just,

a 5x2 rectangle.

a triangle(yellow) with a base of 2 and a height of 2.

a triangle(red) with a base of 6 and a height of 4.

get the area of each, sum them up, and that's the area of the composite.

$\bf \stackrel{rectangle}{(5\cdot 2)}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{yellow~triangle}{\cfrac{1}{2}(2)(2)}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{red~triangle}{\cfrac{1}{2}(6)(4)}$
