Answer:

8.0 mi  

Explanation:

Let's call your triangle ABC as in the diagram. We can use the SAS property of triangles and the Law of Sines.

1. Determine m∠B

m∠ B + 72° = 180°

         m∠B = 108°

2. Determine b

By the Law of Sines,

b/sinB = c/sinC

       b = c(sinB/sinC)

          = 3 × (sin108°/sin17°)

          = 3 × 0.951/0.292

          = 9.76 mi

3. Calculate the area of ∆ABC

Area = ½ bc sinA = ½ × 9.76 × 3sin55° = ½ × 9.76 × 3 × 0.819 = 12.0 mi²

4. Calculate h

Area = ½ × base × height

12.0 mi² = ½ × 3 mi × h

h = 2 × 12.0 mi/3= 8.0 mi  

The altitude of the plane is 8.0 mi.

Evaluate the extent to which the Chesapeake and New England colonies differed, and account for why the major differences in deve
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

1. the writer has limitations because they can only write about the chesapeake colonies and the new england colonies, not about anything else that doesn't tie in with those two colonies. the writer can make choices about how to answer the questions and how to word them to make them sound well written.  

2. you will need to think about the historical causation, appropriate use of relevant historical evidence and more that are required by the prompt.  without these you wont know how to answer the question.  the essay must include the intro, body, and the conclusion to receive a full score.

3. option a would not be an acceptable thesis for the prompt. it is not an acceptable thesis because it doesn't give more detail about what you are talking about. your thesis should be specific, it should only cover what you will discuss in your paper.  option a was not specific, so it could of talked about anything including those two colonies.

4. the new england colonies had thin rocky soil with fast moving rivers with a more diverse economy that included shipping luber, and exports of food and crops. the chesapeake colonies had better soil that the new england colonies,and a longer growing season.  the chesapeake colonies had a much more higher priority on the production of tobacco and other cash crops. since they lived in different regions they had different production needs. they were both settled for religious freedom but they had their differences.  both colonies did disturb the american indians by taking away their land to settle, which lead to conflict. i've met all of the requirements because i answered the question fully.

5. to provide evidence you must include facts about what you are writing about.  they must be true to be considered evidence. you could also use sources to add information.  this excerpt did a good job at using evidence.  they used lots of facts regarding the two colonies.  (not sure about this one)

6. you could provide historical context by first adding some background about what your going to add.  then you could state your historical context that you are going to add, and then explain what you just added.  you could add the historical context in the body paragraphs when trying to prove or solve something to the reader.

Explanation:

i hope this helps everyone. goodluck!!!

Written and oral communication skills are an example of skills that cover all areas of specialization that are most valued by employers when hiring a new employee.

Communication is an essential skill in every organization, it is through it that the flow of information to organizational processes and interaction takes place, so this is an essential skill in any employee.

Employers therefore value professionals with written and oral communication skills because they are a company's primary needs, as knowing how to communicate assertively and knowing how to relate to their co-workers will directly impact organizational culture, motivation, work productivity , etc.
