To create a simulation of photosynthesis in a forest of 50,000 maple trees, a scientist needs to determine the average number of leaves on an actual maple tree. which of the following is the best course of action for establishing this parameter? . a. determine the average number of leaves for 10 randomly selected maple trees. b. choose a value at random to represent the average number of leaves on a tree. c. count the number of leaves on a single tree and assume all trees are the same. d. divide the total number of leaves on all the trees in a forest by 50,000.

A. Determine the average number of leaves for 10 randomly selected maple trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

By randomizing and selecting 10 trees you can have a very close estimate on how many leaves there are per tree in the whole forest in a relatively little amount of time, this can help the scientists advance easier with their study rather than sending a team to count every single leaf in the forests and they dividing it by the number of trees.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
