What is the independent and dependent variable?

Jeremy is on the planning committee for the rock climbing club. He is putting together a trip where members can go outdoor rock climbing. He is trying to determine how high the group should climb and how long the trip should last. He calls multiple parks in the area that offer rock climbing and collects data on the height of the rock formations and the average time it takes people to reach the top and come back down. The data he found is shown.

Time to Climb (min)
Height (ft)

The slope of the line tells Jeremy

the average rate at which people climb the rock formation

.

The y-intercept of the line tells Jeremy

the initial height where the team starts climbing

.

Part D

Step-by-step explample

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls

1. 180°. the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, for the equilateral triangle that it has three equals side is 60°+60°+60°=180°.

2. 60°. each interior angle of a equilateral triangle is 60°

3. 120°. the measure of ∠m is 120°, the sum of the angles ∠m and ∠n is equal to 180°. so, in order to find the measure of ∠m, we have ∠m+∠n=180° > ∠m=180°-∠n > ∠m=180°-60°=120°.

4. 360°. the sum of the exterior angles of an equilateral triangle is ∠m+∠r+∠x=120°+120°+120°=360°. the exterior angles of any triangle always add 360°.
