<p>Number 1 is squareroot13 -1
You are missing pythagoreous theorem concept im sure of that a hundered percent.
the longest side is 7 the other side in big circle is 6 this the remaining side is squareroot13(which has a part in small circle and a part in space) … squareroot13-(1 the smallest side in the small circle) thus the answer
Are you convinced…? Please tell me</p>

<p>well I Know the Pythagorean theorem pretty well. I just was wondering how one finds out that it is a 90 degree angle right triangle</p>

<p>the problem that I had was not knowing the degrees of the angle, I thought there was some sort of rule of geometry about inscribed triangles that would let me know that it was in fact a right triangle. </p>

<p>I moved onto writing, going to keep questions that need some explanation here so that I do not start another thread meaninglessly</p>

<p>a(Found on) open plains and in semideserts, the b (gazelle’s range extends) from Mongolia westward c(to) the Atlantic coast of North Africa and d (throughout) eastern and central tropical Africa. e No error</p>

<pre><code>(A) one I chose, I chose it because I thought found “in” would be correct
(B) correct answer
(C)
(D)
(E)
</code></pre>

<p>why b?</p>

<p>Working2college: Your sentence contains an example of a dangling modifier.</p>

<p>Let’s break this down. Here’s the same sentence from above, only reformatted. </p>

<p>Found on open plains and in semideserts, the gazelle’s range extends from Mongolia westward to the Atlantic coast of North Africa and throughout eastern and central tropical Africa. No error</p>

<p>When you read the sentence, pause at the comma and ask yourself who or what is found on open plains.</p>

<p>So what exactly is found on open plains? </p>

<p>The sentence says “the gazelle’s range.” That’s incorrect. The “gazelle’s range” does not reside on open plains. Gazelles reside on open plains - not their “range.” </p>

<p>The modifier, the part of the sentence before the comma, needs to refer to something logical. Modifiers almost always refer to the part of the sentence that is closest to it, whether it be correct or not. </p>

<p>Again, a gazelle’s “range” cannot be found on open plains, but only gazelles themselves. </p>

<p>Here is a corrected version of the sentence. Here, the modifier is correctly referring to the gazelle. </p>

<p>Found on open plains and in semideserts, the gazelle …</p>

<p>Working2college: Below is another example of a dangling modifier. This is to supplement my explanation above. </p>

<p>Correct: Having finished my SAT prep, I turned on my TV. </p>

<p>Who turned on the TV? I did.</p>

<p>Wrong Having finished my SAT prep, the TV was turned on.</p>

<p>Who turned on the TV? The TV itself? That doesn’t make any sense. </p>

<p>Note how the modifier refers to the closest element in the sentence.</p>
