1. Large swathes of land is being devoted to the cultivation of corn and cultivation of nutritious grasses.

2. Vegetation and Rainfall

Explanation:

1. One characteristic land-use feature associated with the dairy farms is the use of large swaths of land to grow corn and nutritious alfalfa grass. Earlier, these lands were devoted to the cultivation of temperate wheat. However, the success of commercial dairy farming in the region has led to the introduction of extensive farming methods where large farms are devoted to corn and alfalfa production. Application of manures, usage of machines is very high and the overall yield of the farms is very high but yield per unit of land is low.

2. Two geographic features not shown on the map that corroborates to the above concentration pattern are-

  • Vegetation- Temperate grassland (Prairie) of these regions provides large and extensive ground for the cultivation of fodder grass. Prairie supports the cultivation of these grasses.
  • Rainfall- These areas receive plenty of rainfall from humongous freshwater lakes in their vicinity. This rainfall proves crucial for cultivation for animal feeds.

Do you agree that racial discrimination against African Americans might be related to economic stratification? Justify your posi
diamong [38]
In a sense, the discrimination against African Americans is related to economic stratification. In the 17th century colonial Virginia, the concept of race was adopted and used as a justification for social classification for groups of people. This was a result of a violent uprising known as Bacon's Rebellion in which lower class African and Europeans both who were denied land holdings in the Virginia frontier. The rebellion was so destructive that the Virginian governing body set in place strict segregation between Africans and Europeans in a way to prevent them from collectively joining forces again to create another violent uprising. Since then, those of African have gradually lost certain rights and liberties in comparison to their Caucasian counterparts, to the imminent point in which Africans were nearly all reduced to the role of slaves. Even after the abolition of slavery, those of African descent were continuously denied abilities to obtain better economic and financial assets by a southern states that were still upset of losing their right to own slaves. This is evident by sharecropping being used as a way to keep African Americans on estates to work off for their freedom, as well as terroristic tactics used by the Ku Klux Klan, as well as forms of institutional racism that barred African Americans from the same working establishments as White Americans. In various ways, economic stratification has been a tool for discriminating African Americans throughout American history.<span />

A rectangle has the following vertices. Find the area of the rectangle (-8,-6), (4, -6), (1,2), (8,2)
Tju [1.3M]
Answer: 84

Steps:

1. Find distance between (-8,-6) and (4,-6) using distance formula:

√ (4 - (-8))^2 + ((-6) - (-6))^2
√ (12)^2 + (0)^2
√ 144 + 0
√ 144
12

2. Find distance between (1,2) and (8,2) using distance formula:

√ (8-1)^2 + (2-2)^2
√ (7)^2 + (0)^2
√ 49 + 0
√ 49
7

3. Multiply found values to find area

A = l x w
A = 12 x 7
A = 84
