Acamper leaves camp on a kayak and travels 50 miles east on a river, then he ties his kayak to the bank and travels 20 miles north on a bicycle. this trip can be plotted on the coordinate plane, where the camp is the point (0, 0). the distant of the camper to the camp can be found using the distance formula. which other formula can he use? a) 502 - 202 b) 502 + 202 c) 502 - 202 d) 502 + 202

Having a hard time understanding this question (see attachment).

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
