Geometric reasoning can be used to measure distances both on earth and in space. surveyors on earth and astronomers both use the geometric technique of triangulation to determine the distances and sizes of remote objects. in order to determine the distance using the triangulation method, a few key geometric components must be known. once the baseline and the sightline angles are determined, then the distance can be calculated with simple geometric reasoning. in the figure below, label the essential components used to triangulate the distance to the tree located on the opposite side of the river (assume the baseline remains constant).
a. angle that decreases with increasing distance to the objectb. distance to objectc. right angled. baselinee. angle that increases with increasing distance to the object

James is trying to prove newton's 2nd law of motion. he tries to move four different objects with different masses, shapes, and sizes from point a to point b. the objects are a toy car, a car, a refrigerator, and a kitchen table. after some experimentation, he finds that force is dependent on the mass of the object, rather than it's size or shape. the object that takes the most force to move is the

It is reasonable to assume that the bulk modulus of blood is about the same as that of water (2.2 gpa). as one goes deeper and deeper in the ocean, the pressure increases by 10000 pa for every meter below the surface. if a diver goes down 80.0 m in the ocean, by how much does each cubic centimeter of her blood change in volume? give the answer in cubic centimeters (actually one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter).
