Which variable is most important to the following problem? at 9: 45 a. m. a patient’s temperature was 101.5 degrees at 10: 41, the nurse took the patients temperature again and found it was 105.8 degrees, the highest ever recorded. how long did it take for the patients temperature to reach that high? a: the number of minutes it took for the to reach its peak b: the number of degrees that the temperature changed c: the date on which the previous high was recorded

Option A is the important variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is - At 9:45 a.m. a patient’s temperature was 101.5 degrees at 10:41, the nurse took the patients temperature again and found it was 105.8 degrees, the highest ever recorded.

The variable that is most important here is A: the number of minutes it took for the to reach its peak.

Firstly it is not mentioned if 10:41 is am or pm.

If its am, then such a temperature rise in less than an hour is very dangerous.

So, the important variable is option A.

answer:   the paragraph proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

given: in a δxwy where

such that, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx and zw≅zy

we have to prove that: segment zx is a perpendicular bisector of segment wy.

prove: since, zw≅zy ⇒ ∠wzy is a supplementary angle.

then, ∠wzy= 180°

⇒∠wzx + ∠yzx = 180° ( because xz divides ∠wzy into two parts)

but, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx ( given)

⇒∠wzy+∠wzy=180° ( by substitution)

⇒2∠wzy=180°

⇒∠wzy=90°

⇒∠wzy=∠yzx =90°

therefore, xz⊥wy where wz=zy

⇒zx is a perpendicular bisector of wy.
