Answer: A member of Congress might attach a rider to a bill in order to get a controversial provision in the bill get passed with the passage of the bill.
Explanation: A rider is nothing but another provision added to a bill that may otherwise be considered as a controversial bill in whole without the inclusion of the rider. The rider acts as a puller to the other controversial provisions of the bill that the member of Congress intends to get passed.
Answer:
(4, 3)
Explanation:
<u>Short answer</u>: when the coordinates are on horizontal and vertical lines, as these are, each coordinate value is used twice. Already, x=0 is used twice, as is y=0, so the missing coordinate is x=4, y=3.
The fourth vertex is (4, 3).
_____
<u>Longer answer</u>: The midpoints of the diagonals are the same point, so for rectangle ABCD, we have ...
(A+C)/2 = (B+D)/2
Solving for D, we find ...
D = A +C -B
In clockwise order, the points given are ...
A = (4, 0), B = (0, 0), C = (0, 3)
so we have ...
D = (4, 0) +(0, 3) -(0, 0) = (4+0-0, 0+3-0)
D = (4, 3) . . . . the coordinates of the fourth vertex.
Answer:
Theft
Explanation:
With the arrival of the Internet of things, it is possible that theft will be completely eliminated because it will simply become too dangerous an activity to be profitable.
While most objects today are not equipped with sensors, advanced mapping and tracking technology in the future should be able to trace the location of any object in time and space.
Other problems that could be solved by mapping and tracking are:
- traffic issues
- urban planning
- desertification
