  help witnesses identify suspects. One basic
  identification kit contains 190 hairlines, 80
  eyes and eyebrows, 105 mouths, and 73 chins and
  cheeks.
• The developer of the kit claims that it can
  produce billions of different faces. Is this
  claim true?
• A witness can clearly remember the hairline and
  the eyes and eyebrows of a suspect. How many
  different faces can be produced with this
  information?

  able to meet before entering high schoolEx.
  On-line and Algebra 1.
• 3. List CTE courses meeting varied high school
  credit requirements
• a. On-line b. Visual, Performing, or
  Applied Arts
• c. Senior year 4th year math related
  d .5 Algebra II and/or
• e .5 Health Credit ( based on instructor
  credential in Health Sciences) CRITICAL follow
  process for Board approval.
