You do not need to configure a certificate authority on your network to use EFS.

EFS is the short form for Encryption File System. With EFS, users can encrypt their files and folders and even the entire content of a given drive. By encrypting these files and folders, the access to them are restricted and thus increasing, improving and enhancing the security level of the users' data.

In other words, even though there are other ways to restrict access (such as using logon authentication and NTFS file permissions), EFS allows to add another layer of security to data.

To encrypt and decrypt data files and folders in EFS, a certificate authority (CA) could be used. This is however not a requirement. In the case where there is no certificate authority, EFS will sign a default certificate that will be used for encryption. In other words, EFS will generate its own certificate if none does not exist.

The following are other things to note about EFS

i. EFS uses a public and private key pair to encrypt data.

ii. Users do not need to enable EFS. It is enabled by default.

iii. For EFS to encrypt a file, the NTFS file system must be used.

Since a certificate authority is not required on your network to use EFS, the correct option is:

(b) False.

C. Maintenance is an important practice can help prevent hardware trouble. Maintenance involves operational and functional checks, servicing, repairing or replacing if necessary. Maintenance has two types which are preventive or scheduled maintenance and corrective maintenance. Inspecting, maintaining and protecting a device, equipment or facilities before breaking down or other problems occur it is called preventive while corrective is when it is repaired or replaced after wear, malfunction or break down.

In Python please:

Sauron [17]

Answer:

import math

angle = float(input('Enter Angle: '))

shadowLength = float5(input('Enter Shadow Length: '))

tree_height = math.tan(angle)*shadowLength

print('Tree Height = {}'.format(tree_height))

Explanation:

From the equation given, the first step is to derive the equation for calculating the Tree Height.

$tan(angleElevation) = tree height / shadow length\\\\tree height = tan(angleElevation) * shadow length$

In order to calculate the tangent of an angle, the math module has to be imported. math module allows the program to perform advanced math operations.

The program then prompts the user to input values for angle and shadow length.

The inputted values are converted to floats and used in the equation that was derived for Tree height.

Three height is evaluated and the result is printed to the screen
