Part 1: chimpanzee-article

Let’s compare the output of distance-to(chimpanzee-article) with the output of distance-to-cleaned(chimpanzee-article).

1 On both output tables, the angle produced in the "chimpanzee" row is zero. Why?

2 When we used distance-to-cleaned, the angles were generally larger. Why?

3 When we used distance-to-cleaned, four articles produced an angle measure of 90°. What does this tell us?

Part 2: mystery-article

Follow the steps below to make some discoveries about the mystery-article.

4 Type distance-to(mystery-article) in the Interactions Area. Look at the different angle measurements produced. Do you notice any outliers? Explain.

5 Think back to when you compared student-essay with elephant-article. Those two paragraphs were virtually identical, which resulted in an angle difference of about 23.706°. The difference between these two rays (giraffe-article and mystery-article) is much greater, but still seems unusual. Can you make any hypotheses about mystery-article?

6 Let’s investigate further. Type distance-to-cleaned(mystery-essay). What do you notice?

7 Time for the reveal! Type mystery-article into the Interactions Area. Why was the angle difference between this article and giraffe-article small?

Part 3: Revisiting student-essay

8 Type distance-to-cleaned(student-essay) in the Interactions Area. What do you Notice? What do you Wonder?
