The 20-inch rod forms a right triangle with the 15 inches tall box

The value of x in the diagram is 13.2 inches

<h3>How to determine the value of x</h3>

To calculate the value of x, we make use of the following Pythagoras theorem

20^2 = 15^2 + x^2

Evaluate the exponents in the above equation

400 = 225 + x^2

Subtract 225 from both sides of the equation

175 = x^2

Take the square root of both sides

x = 13.2

Hence, the value of x in the diagram is 13.2 inches

An object with a mass of 3.0 g raises the level of water in a graduated cylinder from 25.1 mL to 33.1 mL. What is the density of
evablogger [386]
The displaced volume of the water, because of the submersion of the object, is equal to the volume of the object.

So to find the volume of the object we calculate the difference in volume of water:
33.1-25.1 = 8 ml

Since 1 mL of water has the volume of  1cm^3, then the volume of the object is 8 cm^3.


The density of the object is found by the formula:

density= mass/volume= (3 g) / (8 cm^3) = 3/8 (g/cm^3)= 0.375 g/cm^3


Answer: 0.375 g/cm^3

Is Social Darwinism a justifiable reason to colonize other areas of the world and exploit the people and resources of that regio
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Social Darwinism provided an ideological justification for the social inequalities that capitalism had brought with it: these would result from the hereditary inferiority of the poor and the hereditary excellence of the richer classes, which are best enjoyed under a laissez-faire system. Applied to peoples and races, it became a justification for racism and imperialism.

As can be seen, social Darwinism is a retrograde political and philosophical stance, which considered different ethnic or national groups as different in terms of capacity or development possibilities. Therefore, since this position has been regarded as false, social Darwinism has no justification in our time.
