Emergency ! only do if you know it. kiran and mai are standing at one corner of a rectangular field of grass looking at the diagonally opposite corner. kiran says that if the the field were twice as long and twice as wide, then it would be twice the distance to the far corner. mai says that it would be more than twice as far, since the diagonal is even longer than the side lengths. do you agree with either of them?

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
