- Two cars leave the same parking lot, with one heading north and the other heading east. After several minutes, the northbound car has traveled 6 miles, and the eastbound car has traveled 8 miles. Measured in a straight line, how far apart are the two cars? 1 I​

Step-by-step explanation

Use Pythagoras theorem. The distance between the cars, 8km, is the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle, one leg of which is 6km and the other of which is, say, x km

x = sqrt(8^2 - 6^2) km.

You can crunch the numbers.

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
