paces in a straight line northward. At the end of her distance she will call this point “B”. Vanessa will now turn 90 degrees to the right and will walk 2x+4 paces east until she is at point “C”. We have now acquired a line segment which we will call AB which is basically the line from A to B, the line segment from B to C is considered BC. However, the lines AB and BC intersect to form a perpendicular angel, and we will use line AC as Ahmed’s route. The end state of the line segments if one was…

It was 10:00 A.M and we got in line to get out wrist bands, and even though there was only 2 people ahead of us it felt like we were in line for a long time because of the 100 degree air.

of the wavelength. As it was impossible to measure the true standard curve, the data points and subsequent graphs demonstrated the qualitative information collected and the trend of these values. The calibration curve closely resembled a straight line, with only minimal deviations in either direction. This indicated that the solutions examined and the data attained had a low percentage of error and high accuracy. As the concentration of the cobalt (II) solution decreased, the absorbance also…
