Hans wanted to find the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Which statement correctly identifies his error? A right triangle has side lengths 40 centimeters and 9 centimeters. The hypotenuse is labeled c.

9 squared + 40 squared = c squared. 81 + 80 = c squared. 161 = c squared. StartRoot 161 EndRoot centimeters = c.
He did not square 40, he just multiplied by 2.
He did not finish the problem. He should have divided 161 by 2 to find the square root.
He should have added 9 + 9 to find the value of 9 squared.
He should have subtracted the two squares to get 40 squared minus 9 squared = c squared because numbers get too large if both legs are squared and then added together.

Farmers know that driving heavy equipment on wet soil compresses the soil and injures future crops. here are data on the "penetrability" of the same type of soil at two levels of compression. penetrability is a measure of how much resistance plant roots will meet when they try to grow through the soil. compressed soil 2.85 2.66 3 2.82 2.76 2.81 2.78 3.08 2.94 2.86 3.08 2.82 2.78 2.98 3.00 2.78 2.96 2.90 3.18 3.16 intermediate soil 3.17 3.37 3.1 3.40 3.38 3.14 3.18 3.26 2.96 3.02 3.54 3.36 3.18 3.12 3.86 2.92 3.46 3.44 3.62 4.26 use the data, omitting the high outlier, to give a 95% confidence interval for the decrease in penetrability of compressed soil relative to intermediate soil. compute degrees of freedom using the conservative method. interval: to
