(a) Find the linear equation that relates the temperature t and the number of chirps per minute n.
If the equation is linear, then the equation should have the form of t = mn + b
m = (80 - 70) / (168 - 120) = 5/24
t = 5/24n + b
70 = 5/24(120) + b
b = 45
t = 5/24 n + 45
<span>(b) If the crickets are chirping at 138 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)
</span><span>t = 5/24 n + 45
</span><span>t = 5/24 (138) + 45 = 74 </span>°F

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for <em>CD</em>, we can create a right triangle.
Where <em>CD</em> becomes the hypotenuse.
The length of the base of the triangle is 9 units.
The length of the height of the triangle is 5 units.
Apply Pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.
