Read these sentences from the text. Alex is not a smoker, but he lives near St. Louis, named the worst place in the U. S. for asthma sufferers by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America in 2009. The group rated St. Louis low for having poor air quality and because it doesn’t have as many laws as other places keeping indoor areas smoke free.

Based on this evidence, what can you conclude about asthma sufferers in St. Louis?
A. St. Louis is the only city in the United States where asthma is common.
B. Poor air quality and indoor smoking can cause problems for asthma sufferers.
C. Poor air quality and indoor smoking have no effect on asthma sufferers.
D. There are more asthma sufferers in St. Louis than any other city in America.

Hi! I would say it is D because the other answers really don’t make sense. And the passages said that they were rated low for air quality.

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

nada
