Answer:

Degrees of latitude and longitude can be further subdivided into minutes and

seconds (units of arc, not time): There are 60 minutes (') per degree, and 60

seconds (") per minute. For example, a coordinate might be written 65° 32' 15". ...

At the equator, it is approximately 69 miles, the same size as a degree of latitude.

Let a= 6 cm, b = 8 cm and c ?

charle [14.2K]

Follow the Pythagorean theorem which is $a^{2} + b^{3} = c^{2}$

So fill in what we know which is a and b to get
$6^{2} + 8^{2} = c^{2}$
then solve the squares to get
36+64= $c^{2}$
add the two numbers to get
100= $c^{2}$
then square root each side to get
10=c

Hope I could help, and I am really good at the Pythagorean theorem so if you need more help just let me know.

Why is it difficult to stop the practice of tavy farming in Madagascar?

Oliga [24]

Answer:

It's a traditional practice and it's an economical need

Explanation:

The tavy farming is a slash and burn approach, where forest is cut to gain agricultural land to plant rice for example. However, without trees, the land cannot be irrigated properly and that patch of land becomes useless quite rapidly.

Over the generations, that caused global devastation on this island nation.

Most people know it's wrong and it will have to end soon, by the simple fact that there won't be any trees left to cut in a generation or two.

However, tavy is deeply engrained into traditions and it's still the easiest way for farmers to earn a living to feed their families, in a country with an annual income of less than US$0.60 a day.
