“Is it wicked to be rich?... We all agree that he is a good member of society who works his way up from poverty to wealth, but a

s soon as he has worked his way up we begin to regard him with suspicion, as a dangerous member of society. A newspaper starts the silly fallacy that ‘the rich are rich because the poor are industrious,’ and it is copied from one end of the country to the other as if it were a brilliant apothegm. ’Capital’ is denounced by writers and speakers who have never taken the trouble to find out what capital is, and who use the word in two or three different senses in as many pages… All the denunciations and declamations (of the wealthy and powerful) which have been referred to are made in the interest of ‘the poor man.’ His name never ceases to echo in the halls of legislation, and he is the excuse and reason for all the acts which are passed. He is never forgotten in poetry, sermon, or essay. His interest is invoked to defend every doubtful procedure and every questionable institution. Yet where is he? Who is he? Who ever saw him? When did he ever get the benefit of any of the numberless efforts in his behalf? When, rather, was his name and interest ever invoked, when, upon examination, it did not plainly appear that somebody else was to win—somebody who was far too ‘smart’ ever to be poor, far too lazy ever to be rich by industry and economy?” —William Graham Sumner, from What the Social Classes Owe to Each Other, 1883

Why did the Chinese fail to foresee the threat that European expansion would pose for the rest of Asia and finally for China its
Anastasy [175]
The Chinese failed to foresee that the European expansion would rival their rise because the Chinese did not see the importance of voyages across oceans. The Europeans were out to discover new lands, resources and colonies. The Chinese were thinking about how to bring together their nomads.

Two lights will be arranged on a two-dimensional plane. The vertical distance between the two lights is stored in the double var
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

double a;

double b;

double distance = Math.sqrt( (Math.pow(a, 2) + Math.pow(b, 2));

System.out.println("The distance is: " + distance);

Explanation:

The code snippet is written in Java.

First, variable a is declared as a type of double and variable b is also declared as a type of double.

The given formula for the distance is:

√(a² + b²)

So we use the inbuilt function of Java to calculate the power and the square root.

Math.sqrt is to find the square root and it returns a value of type double.

Math.pow is use to calculate the value of a² and b².

a² = Math.pow(a, 2)

b² = Math.pow(b, 2)

Then Math.sqrt is applied to the sum of Math.pow(a, 2) and Math.pow(b, 2), the value is assigned to distance of type double.

The value of distance is now displayed to the user:

System.out.println("The distance is: " + distance);
