Answer:

Explanation:

The guy wire is making a right angled triangle  with the ground and stop sign . It makes an angle of 51 degree with the ground. In this triangle stop sign is the perpendicular and distance from the base on the ground forms the base of the triangle . Wire forms the hypotenuse.

base / hypotenuse = cos51

base = hypotenuse x cos51

= 8 x cos51

= 5.03 ft .

The distance of the stake with which guy wire was attached from the foot of the stop sign is 5.03 ft .

Which of the following best describes the human population from early times to the present?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

We have a not significant increase of the population until 1700s or 1800s and then a significant increase growth from these years to the present.

Explanation:

From the figure attached we see the evolution of the human population since early times (1050).

We see that from 1050 until 1750-1850 we have an increase slowly with a low value for the increase per year.

But after these years (1750-1850) we see a considerable increase of the population, like an exponential model.

So then we can conclude in general terms this:

We have a not significant increase of the population until 1700s or 1800s and then a significant increase growth from these years to the present.

Think of a way you could demonstrate elastic force to a younger student. Describe the procedure you would follow and the materia
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

I feel like to demonstrate you would use an elastic band as the material. You obviously have to put force in order to see how far it stretches. From this you can also find about its resistance and durability

Also you have to make sure the distance between the two hands are equal as you want an accurate result.
