Amy wants to create a presentation for her school about why the school day should start after 10 a.m. She plans to use a recent doctor’s report about teenage sleep patterns, a survey asking students what time they think school should begin, and a newspaper article about bus drivers working extra hours for after-school activities. Write a paragraph that explains which source is credible and relevant to Amy’s research project
One credible and relevant source for Amy's presentation is the recent doctor's report about teenage sleep patterns. Since the report is based on scientific research, it is a credible source that can provide valuable insights into the impact of waking up early on adolescent students' health and academic performance. Additionally, the report's findings can support Amy's argument that starting school after 10 a.m. can benefit student's health and academic success.

Without a diagram or given dimensions, it is not possible to accurately determine the area of the trapezoid through composition of rectangle and triangles. Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined from the options provided (A, B, C, D).
A storage container is in the shape of a rectangular prism, with a length of 315
feet, and width of 134
feet, and a height of 214
feet. What is the container’s volume?
Responses
A 715
cubic feet7 1 5 cubic feet
B 1235
cubic feet12 3 5 cubic feet
C 535
cubic feet5 3 5 cubic feet
D 1425
cubic feet
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by multiplying the length, width, and height together.
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 315 feet x 134 feet x 214 feet
Volume = 9,083,940 cubic feet
Therefore, the container's volume is approximately 9,083,940 cubic feet.
None of the given options match with the correct answer.
