Answering the question, the three specific consequences caused by the passage of the voting right acts are as follows:

  1. The passage of the voting right act made it illegal for state government and the congress to enact any voting law that is based on race
  2. The passage of the voting right act compelled the Federal government to watch over some of the states where some measures or obstacles were formerly introduced to prevent African Americans from taking part in elections.
  3. The passage of the bill also accorded the attorney general, the authority to probe any states that fail to obey the court order, especially states where the obstacles still existed
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

On August 6, 1965, President Lyndon Bill Johnson signed the voting right act into law. The main reason this act was signed into to overcome some of the legal barriers put in place in some states and local levels that blocked African Americans from voting.

Some of the barriers that prevented African American from taking part in elections include:

  • Poll taxes
  • Literacy tests
  • Grandfather clauses

However, the voting right act of 1965 was enacted to put an end to discrimination and allow African Americans to exercise their voting rights.

Answer:

1) Literacy tests were deemed illegal.

2) The federal government would watch over states where obstacles were used to prevent African Americans from voting in the past.

3)The Attorney General could investigate any state or local election who were still trying to use poll taxes.

Explanation:

Literacy tests, poll taxes, and grandfather clauses were all obstacles to African Americans voting in local, state, and national elections. These obstacles were implemented during the late 19th century to target black voters. With the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the goal was to ensure that blacks had equal opportunity to vote. This is why the federal government increased their power and oversight to ensure these citizens had the right to vote.

A cone has a diameter of 8 units and a height of 8 units.Its radius is A. 2 B. 4 C. 8 D. 16 units, and its volume is A. 66.99 B.
cluponka [151]

Question

1) A cone has a diameter of 8 units and a height of 8 units. Its radius is

A. 2 B. 4 C. 8 D. 16 units,

2) and its volume is A. 66.99 B. 133.97 C. 401.92 D. 535.89 cubic units.

3) A cylinder with the same height and radius as the cone will have a volume of A. 66.99 B. 133.97 C. 401.92 D. 535.89 cubic units.

4) If a sphere has the same radius as the cylinder, its volume is A. Half B. Two-thirds C. Four-thirds the volume of the cylinder

Answer:

1) B. 4 units

2) B. 133.97 cubic units

3) C. 401.92 cubic units

4) B. Two-thirds the volume of the cylinder.

Explanation:

1)In the above question, we are given the following values.

A cone has a diameter of 8 units and a height of 8 units. We are asked to find the radius.

The formula for radius = Diameter ÷ 2

The radius of the cone = 8 units ÷ 2 = 4 units.

2) We are asked to find the volume of the cone in question 1

Volume of the cone = 1/3πr²h

r = 4 units, h = 8 units, π = 3.14

= 1/3 × 3.14 × 4² × 8

= 133.97 cubic units.

3) We are asked to find the volume of a cylinder if it has same height and radius as the cone in question 1

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

r = 4 units

h = 8 units

Volume of a cylinder = 3.14 × 4² × 8

= 401.92 cubic units.

4) If a sphere has the same radius as the cylinder, its volume is

The radius of the cylinder = 4 units

Volume of a sphere = 4/3πr³

π = 3.14

= 4/3 × π × 4³

= 268.08257311cubic units

Approximately = 268.08 cubic units.

The volume of the cylinder = 401.92 cubic units,

Two thirds of the volume of the cylinder = 2/3 × 401.92 = 268

Therefore, if a sphere has the same radius as the cylinder, its volume is 268.08 cubic units is Two-thirds the volume of the cylinder.
