If a runner jogs 3 miles west and then jogs 8 miles

pshichka [43]

This question would be a geometry question. As you can see from the picture attached below, the path taken by the runner forms a right triangle. The 3 miles West would equal the base of the triangle while the 8 miles North will be the side. This means that the hypotenuse (marked by x) is the straight path home that we need to find the value for. We can do this by using the Pythagorean Theorem, which is the following formula

$a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}$

In this formula, the variables a and b are the sides of the triangle, while c is the hypotenuse. Now we can apply the values of the triangle below and solve for c.

$3^{2} + 8^{2} = x^{2}$

9 + 64 = $x^{2}$

73 = $x^{2}$ ... apply square root on both sides

8.54 = x

Finally, we can see that the run straight back home would be 8.54 miles.

a historian who compares events in both America to events in South America is organizing history by what ?

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Abraham Lincoln

Explanation:

Lincoln was born in poverty in a log cabin and

was raised on the frontier primarily in Indiana .

He was self-educated and became a lawyer,

Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator , and

U.S. Congressman from Illinois. In 1849 he

returned to his law practice but became vexed

by the opening of additional lands to slavery as

a result of the Kansas–Nebraska Act . He

reentered politics in 1854, becoming a leader in

the new Republican Party and he reached a

national audience in the 1858 debates against

Stephen Douglas . Lincoln ran for President in

1860, sweeping the North in victory. Pro-slavery

elements in the South equated his success with

the North's rejection of their right to practice

slavery, and southern states began seceding

from the union . To secure its independence, the

new Confederate States of America fired on Fort

Sumter , a U.S. fort in the South, and Lincoln

called up forces to suppress the rebellion and

restore the Union.
