<h2>Answer:</h2>

Californian San Andreas fault continents is moving relative to one another.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

California is between two plates namely the Northern American Plate and the Pacific Plate that are moving slowly past each other. The Pacific plate moves in the northwest direction at the rate of 46 mm/year with reference to the Northern American Plate.

It is believed that the motion was triggered by the strike-slip earthquake that occurred on the fault San Andreas. The fault by nature is a transform fault which extends approximately 1200 kilometer through California. There are three segments dividing the faults each with different degree of earthquakes.

When Carla solved for the height from the ground to the point where the ladder

Westkost [7]

Answer:

<em>See explanation</em>

Explanation:

Given

Represent the vertical angle with $\theta$

$\theta = 75$

The question has incomplete details because the length of the ladder is not given; neither is the distance between the ladder and the wall given.

<em>See attachment for illustration</em>

So, this solution will be based on assumptions.

Represent

- The height from ground to the top of the ladder with y

- The length of the ladder with L

- The distance between the ladder and the wall with x

Carla could solve for y in any of the following ways:

1. Tan formula

$tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}$

In this case:

$tan \theta = \frac{x}{y}$

Multiply both sides by y

$y * tan \theta = \frac{x}{y} * y$

$y * tan \theta = x$

Divide both sides by tan

$y = \frac{x}{tan \theta}$

$y = \frac{x}{tan 75}$

This can be used if the distance (x) between the ladder and the wall is known.

Assume x = 15

$y = \frac{15}{tan 75}$

$y = 4.02$

2. Cosine formula

$cos \theta = \frac{adj}{hyp}$

In this case:

$cos \theta = \frac{y}{L}$

Multiply both sides by L

$L * cos \theta = \frac{y}{L} * L$

$Lcos \theta = y$

$y = Lcos \theta$

$y = Lcos75$

This can be used if the length (L) of the ladder is known.

Assume L = 15

$y = 15 * cos75$

$y = 3.88$

How is general fertility rate different from fertility rate

Triss [41]

Explanation:

The general fertility rate is an age/sex-specific birth rate while the total fertility rate is an age/sex-adjusted birth rate. The TFR is an age-adjusted rate because it is based on the assumption that there are the same number of women in each age group.
