A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns in wildland vegetation, often in rural areas. Wildfires can burn in forests, grasslands, savannas, and other ecosystems and have been doing so for hundreds of millions of years. They are not limited to a particular continent or environment.
In 2-3 sentences, explain which context clues help you identify the meaning of the word vegetation in the first sentence.
The context clues that help identify the meaning of the word "vegetation" in the first sentence are "wildland," "forests," "grasslands," and "savannas." Since wildfires can burn in these different ecosystems, it suggests that "vegetation" refers to the plants, trees, and other forms of plant life that make up these various environments.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length between the two points. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

To find the length between the two points using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can use the formula:
d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
Substituting the given coordinates, we have:
d = √[(-2 - 2)^2 + (-1 - 4)^2]
= √[(-4)^2 + (-5)^2]
= √[16 + 25]
= √41
≈ 6.40
Therefore, the length between Point 1 and Point 2 is approximately 6.40.

To find the length between points A and B using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can use the formula:
d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
Substituting the given coordinates, we have:
d = √[(5 - 2)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2]
= √[3^2 + 8^2]
= √[9 + 64]
= √73
≈ 8.54
Therefore, the length between Point A and Point B is approximately 8.54.
