Answer:
We are losing Earth's greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries.
Rainforests are being destroyed because the value of rainforest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by short-sighted governments, multi-national logging companies, and land owners.
Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation.
Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year. As the rainforest species disappear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.
Most rainforests are cleared by chainsaws, bulldozers and fires for its timber value and then are followed by farming and ranching operations, even by world giants like Mitsubishi Corporation, Georgia Pacific, Texaco and Unocal.
of accumulated knowledge of the medicinal value of rainforest species. As their homelands continue to be destroyed by deforestation, rainforest peoples are also disappearing.

When a medicine man dies without passing his arts on to the next generation, the tribe and the world loses thousands of years of irreplaceable knowledge about medicinal plants.

Answer:
y = ± 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y² = 225 ( take the square root of both sides )
[tex]\sqrt{y^2}[/tex] = ± [tex]\sqrt{225}[/tex]
y = ± 15
That is y = 15, y = - 15
Since 15 × 15 = 225 and - 15 × - 15 = 225
y² = 225
y = √225
y = 15
y²= 225
y = √225
y = -15
y = ±15
Therefore values of y are 15 and -15

In the figure below, triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR:
A right triangle ABC with right angle at B and base BC is drawn. Length of AB is 4, length of BC is 2. A similar right triangle; triangle PQR, which is triangle ABC enlarged and reflected across a horizontal line, is drawn near it. The right angle is at Q. Angle A is congruent to angle P and angle C is congruent to angle R. The length of QR is 12.
What is the length of side PQ?
48
24
40
18
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar the side lengths must be proportional
2/12 = 4/PQ cross multiply expressions
2PQ = 48 divide both sides by 2
PQ = 24
How do I find x and y?
Answer:
x = 20
y = 70
Step-by-step explanation:
Since B and D are parallel :
6x - 10 + 3x + 10 = 180 add/subtract like terms
9x = 180 divide both sides by 9
x = 20
angle represented by y and 6x - 10 are supplementary and their sum is 180
y + 6x - 10 = 180 replace x with 20
y + 6*20 - 10 = 180
y + 120 - 10 = 180
y + 110 = 180 subtract 110 from both sides
y = 70

Use the box plots comparing the number of males and number of females attending the latest superhero movie each day for a month to answer the questions.
Two box plots shown. The top one is labeled Males. Minimum at 0, Q1 at 1, median at 20, Q3 at 25, maximum at 50. The bottom box plot is labeled Females. Minimum at 0, Q1 at 5, median at 6, Q3 at 10, maximum at 18 and a point at 43
Part A: Estimate the IQR for the males' data. (2 points)
Part B: Estimate the difference between the median values of each data set. (2 points)
Part C: Describe the distribution of the data and if the mean or median would be a better measure of center for each. (4 points)
Part D: Provide a possible reason for the outlier in the data set. (2 points)
Answer:
The formula for iqr is q3 - q1
24
Step-by-step explanation:
The box plot is a visual way of presenting a dataset where the rectangle is used to represent the quartiles.
The IQR of the male dataset is 24.The difference in median of both datasets is 14.The best measure of center to use for the female box plot is the median. The best measure of center to use for the male box plot is the mean.A possible reason for an outlier is human error.The given parameters are:
Male: Female
[tex]Minimum = 0[/tex] [tex]Minimum = 0[/tex]
[tex]Q_1 = 1[/tex] [tex]Q_1 = 5[/tex]
[tex]Median = 20[/tex] [tex]Median = 6[/tex]
[tex]Q_3 = 25[/tex] [tex]Q_3 = 10[/tex]
[tex]Maximum = 50[/tex] [tex]Maximum = 18[/tex]
A. IQR for male dataset
The IQR is calculated as follows:
[tex]IQR = Q_3 - Q_1[/tex]
For the male's data:
[tex]IQR = 25-1[/tex]
[tex]IQR = 24[/tex]
Hence, the IQR of the male dataset is 24.
B. Difference in median values
We have:
[tex]Median = 20[/tex] ----- Male dataset
[tex]Median = 6[/tex] ----- Female dataset
So, the difference (d) is:
[tex]d = 20 - 6[/tex]
[tex]d = 14[/tex]
Hence, the difference in median of both dataset is 14.
C. Best measure of center
The female box plot (see attachment) has an outlier. This means that the measure of center to use for the female dataset is the median.
The male box plot has no outlier; this means that the mean can be used as a measure of center for the male box plot
D. Reason for outlier
There are several reasons that could cause an outlier in a dataset. One of the reasons is human error during data entry

Answer:
29.5 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's divide the shape into 3 parts to make it easy for us to find the area.
- a wide triangle
- a triangle
- a shorter rectangle
For the wider rectangle, the area is;
A1 = 8 × 2 = 16 in²
For the triangle, the area is;
A2 = ½(7 - 2) × 3
A2 = 7.5 in²
For the shorter rectangle, the area is;
A3 = 3 × 2
A3 = 6 in²
Total area = A1 + A2 + A3 = 16 + 7.5 + 6 = 29.5 square inches

Does anyone know the answer plz ?
Answer:
x = 5; y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
One angle is a right angle, so its measure is 90 degrees.
One angle measures 45 degrees, so the unknown angle must also measure 45 degrees.
x and y are opposite two 45-degree angles, so x = y.
In a 45-45-90 triangle, the ratio of the lengths of the sides is
1 : 1 : sqrt(2)
We have
x : y : 5sqrt(2)
x/1 = 5sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)
x = 5
y = 5

In a survey of 850 students in a school, 90% reported having pets at home. If the margin of error is 3.4%, what is the interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all people who have pets at home?
Between 3.4% and 90%
Between 90% and 93.4%
Between 86.6% and 90%
Between 86.6% and 93.4%
Answer:
Between 86.6% and 93.4%Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the population proportion from the sample, we calculate the confidence interval ; Confidence interval = phat ± margin of error Phat = 90% ; margin of error = +3.4% 90% ± 3.4% (90 - 3.4)% ; (90 + 3.4)% 86.6% ; 93.4%Find all three distinct roots for X³ =1. (two of them are complex mumber). And show that sum of all roots is zero.
x ³ = 1
x ³ - 1 = 0
x ³ - 1³ = 0
Factorize the right side as a difference of cubes:
(x - 1) (x ² + x + 1) = 0
Then
x - 1 = 0 or x ² + x + 1 = 0
The first equation yields x = 1 as a root.
For the other equation, rearrange and complete the square to get the other two roots,
x ² + x + 1/4 = -3/4
(x + 1/2)² = -3/4
x + 1/2 = ±√(-3/4) = ± i √3/2
x = -1/2 ± i √3/2
x = (-1 ± i √3)/2
Since complex roots occurs in conjugate pairs, taking the sum of these two roots eliminates the imaginary part:
(-1 + i √3)/2 + (-1 - i √3)/2 = (-1 - 1)/2 = -2/2 = -1
and adding to 1 indeed shows that the sum of roots is zero.

The total cost of 2 bracelets and 3 necklaces is $15.50. The total cost of 4 bracelets and 1 necklace is $13.50. Let b represent the cost of each bracelet and n represent the cost of each necklace. This situation can be represented by the following system of equations.
{2b+3n=15.504b+n=13.50
What is the cost of one bracelet?
A
$2.50
B
$7.75
C
$5.00
D
$3.50
Answer:
A
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
b = cost of bracelet
n = cost of necklace
2b+3n = 15.50
4b+1n = 13.50
Multiply the first equation by -2
-4b -6n = -31
4b +n = 13.50
---------------------------
-5n = -17.50
Divide each side by -5
-5n/-5 = -17.5/-5
n = 3.50
Now we can find b
4b+n = 13.50
4b+3.50 = 13.50
4b+3.50-3.50 = 13.50 -3.50
4b = 10
Divide by 4
4b/4 = 10/4
b = 2.50
