What do these mean?
-data collection
-constructing and interpreting graphs
-drawing the line of best fit

They sound like objectives for a unit of a math or economics class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data collection would most likely mean analyzing collected data (looking for trends).

Constructing graphs would probably mean making graphs from a set of data (plotting the information).

Interpreting graphs would mean the opposite of the above definition: would look at a graph and then put that information into written form/

Drawing a line of best fit means making a line on a graph that represents the average of all of the data on the graph.

I hope that this helps!

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
