Answer: 14ft

Explanation: here we may assume a linear relationship.

Where S, the shadow, is equivalent to H, the height.

and the relation is S = K*H

where K is a constant.

So if a person 6 feet tall casts a 4-foot shadow, we have:

4 = K*6

now we need to isolate K by dividing both sides by 6.

K = 4/6 = 2/3

Now that we know the value of K, if we want to find the shadow casted by a 21 ft tree, we need to solve:

S = (2/3)*21 = 2*(21/3) = 2*7 = 14

So the shadow casted is of 14ft

Because the shadows are being cast at the same time of day, they have the same proportions. (4*21)/6=the length of the shadow of the tree =14ft

In what way did political policies act as a centrifugal force in the Soviet Union during the late 1980s?
marin [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The government gave the people more freedom to criticize the government which led to nationalist movements

Explanation:

In the late 1980s, the economic and social situation in the Soviet Union was tense. The socialist economy was on the verge of collapse, the war in Afghanistan was an assured defeat, and the quality of life for Soviet citizens was appalling.

Due to these situations, the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev decided to carry out a series of economic and political reforms, known as Perestroika and Glasnost, aimed at liberalizing the economy from a pure socialist model to a mixed model, and granting greater rights and civil liberties to the citizens.

Now, these freedoms granted to the population, instead of calming the waters, were seen by the political opposition (both internal and external) as a sign of weakness. This led to numerous mobilizations and demonstrations, which further weakened the already weak Soviet political apparatus and made possible the emergence of regionalist nationalisms in the former Soviet nations, especially those subjugated to the power of Russia.
