The Hellenistic Period (or Hellenism) was a time in history between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC when the Greeks came under the rule of the Macedonian Empire.
Greek influence was so great that, after the fall of the Empire, Hellenistic culture continued to predominate in all territories previously dominated by them.
Between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, the Hellenistic kingdoms were gradually conquered by the Romans.
The <u>expansionist movement</u> promoted by Alexander was responsible for the spread of Greek culture in the East, founding cities (several times named after Alexandria) that became true centers for the spread of Greek culture in the East.
Greek elements ended up merging with local cultures. This process was called Hellenism and Greek culture mixed with Eastern elements gave rise to Hellenistic Culture, in a reference to the name as the Greeks called themselves - Hellenes.
In the <u>Mathematics</u> of Hellenism, Euclid and Archimedes stood out, who developed Geometry. Euclides used Geometry in his Physics studies. Physics (mechanics) also deserved special attention from Archimedes, making it possible to invent new weapons for attack and defense.
In <u>Astronomy</u>, Aristarchus and Hipparchus stood out in an attempt to measure the diameter of the Earth and the distances from our planet to the Sun and the Moon. Aristarchus launched the heliocentric hypothesis, that is, that the earth and planets revolved around the Sun , which was not accepted at the time.
We want double sixes. This means that we want both the first roll and the second roll to be 6.
The given point is given as (r1 , r2) where:r1 is output from first rollr2 is output from second roll
Since we want both outputs to be 6, therefore, the answer would be: (6,6)

How does Smith characterize the colonizing effort and why does he so characterize the effort to settle Jamestown? Captain John Smith, a short, twenty-seven-year-old soldier of fortune with exceptional powers of leadership and self-promotion. With the colonists on the verge of starvation, Smith imposed strict discipline and forced all to labor, declaring that “he that will not work shall not eat.” In dealing with the settlers, he imprisoned, whipped, and forced them to work. Smith also bargained with the Indians and explored and mapped the Chesapeake region. Through his dictatorial efforts, Jamestown survived.
What was the most difficult challenge faced by the colonists who established Jamestown? They needed to grow their own food, but most were either unfamiliar with farming or “gentleman” adventurers who scorned manual labor. They had come expecting to find gold, friendly Indians, and easy living. Instead, they found disease, drought, starvation, dissension, and death. Most did not know how to exploit the area’s abundant game and fish.
How was this most difficult challenge affected by other demands and challenges that confronted the first English to establish a permanent settlement in North America? The difficulty of the settlers to grow their own food, all the problems involving violent indigenous and diseases. And most important, no signal of precious metals such as gold and silver, Jamestown and consequently other settlements were severe challenges to the North American permanent settlement.
The constitutional crisis created by the Watergate scandal was whether or not the President of the United States could be indicted on criminal charges while in office.
President Richard Nixon was facing impeachment charges, and ultimately resigned rather than be impeached. But the question of whether or not he could be indicted on criminal charges came up prior to his resignation (which occurred on August 8, 1974). In March 1974, a grand jury issued indictments of seven White House aides for perjury and obstruction of justice. At that time, President Nixon was named an "unindicted coconspirator." Watergate Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski had advised the grand jury that a sitting President could not be indicted.
After Nixon's resignation, the question of whether or not criminal charges should be pursued against him was resolved by Gerald Ford, who succeeded Nixon in the presidency. Ford granted a full and unconditional pardon to Nixon for any crimes he might have committed while serving as president. Ford's goal was to spare the nation any further turmoil from the ugly Watergate episode.
