Leaking gasoline will likely become runoff when it rains, contaminating local water bodies.

Leaking gasoline will likely move through the soil, contaminating water located underground.

Leaking gasoline will likely flow over the watershed divide, contaminating surrounding watersheds.

Leaking gasoline will likely have no effect on the local watershed.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  Leaking gasoline will likely move through the soil, contaminating water located underground

Explanation:

Since the tank is underground, any leak in the tank will be underground. It may contaminate local groundwater. Where that water nears the surface, as at seeps, ponds, lakes, or streams, the gasoline may contaminate runoff or surface water as well.

Of the choices offered, if you must pick one, the most appropriate is ...

Find the DISTANCES of AB and CD to determine if AB is congruent to CD. A(-7,1) B(-4,-3) C(3,-5) D(7,-2)

Answers

Answer:

AB is congruent to CD

Explanation:

Given the following :

A(-7,1) B(-4,-3) C(3,-5) D(7,-2)

Distance AB:

A(-7,1) ; B(-4,-3) ;

AB = √[(X2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

AB = √[(-4 - (-7))^2 + (-3 - 1)^2]

AB = √[(-4 + 7)^2 + (-3 - 1)^2]

AB = √[(3)^2 + (-4)^2]

AB = √(9 + 16)

AB = √25

AB = 5

C(3,-5) D(7,-2)

Distance CD ; x1 = 3, y1 = - 5, x2 = 7, y2 = - 2

CD = √[(X2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

CD = √[(7 - 3)^2 + (-2 - (-5))^2]

CD = √[( 4 )^2 + (-2 + 5)^2]

CD = √[(4)^2 + (3)^2]

CD = √(16 + 9)

CD = √25

CD = 5

CD = AB, Hence, AB is Congruent to CD

Which expression gives the distance between the points
(1,-2) and (2,4)?​

Answers

Answer:

(1, 6)

Explanation:

To find the distance between the two points, we would have to find the distance in the x and y values.

The x value in both equations is 2 and 1.  To find the distance between these points we would just need to subtract 2-1 which equals 1.

The y value in both equations is -2 and 4. Since one of the numbers is in the negatives, we would have to imagine a graph. If our point is on -2, we would have to count up the marks until we got to four. So, 2+4=6.

Note- this isn't how adding negative and positive numbers work but when it comes to graphs this is how it works. :p

So, your distance between the points is (1,6)
