Answer:
The tomatoes didn't come from the Old World during The Columbian Exchange.
Explanation:
During the time of The Columbian Exchange, thousands of goods found their way across the Atlantic, be it from one side or the other. This was very beneficial for both sides, with the Old World and the New World getting goods that imporoved the lives of the people. One of the most popular and nowadays among the most used goods, the tomato, came from the New World and was introduced in the Old World.
The tomatoes originated as a wild plant in the Andes, on the territories of modern-day Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. The people living in this region saw their potential and started to cultivate them, and seeing what a delight they are, other people from other parts of the New World started to cultivate them as well. The people of the Old World though were skeptical about the tomatoes initially and were not very fond of them, and they even thought that when they start to go red they are getting spoiled. Over time, this changed as people saw that they have a wonderful food product, so the tomato became one of the most popular goods.
Answer:
Yes, if we take the square roots of 25, 144 and 169 (5, 12, 13)
Not by using those measures as is (sides of a triangle with 25, 144 and 169).
Explanation:
A right triangle is a triangle with an angle of 90 degrees, and the side facing that angle of 90 degrees is called an hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse measurement squared is equal to the squared measurements of the other two sides:
c² = a² + b²
And those squares do verify the equation:
169 = 144 + 25
So, that's a rectangle (right) triangle, with sides measuring 5, 12 and 13.
