If all the ice covering Antarctica , Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world were to melt, sea level would rise about 70 meters (230 feet). The ocean would cover all the coastal cities. And land area would shrink significantly. ... Scientists are studying exactly how ice caps disappear.

According to this map, how did the United States answer the Soviet threat of missiles in Cuba?
Liula [17]

The correct answer is - by blockading the island with aircraft carriers.

After Castro came to power in Cuba, he immediately made an alliance with the Soviet Union. That was a devastating news for the United States, as that meant that their arch rival will be able to make its basis right next door to their territory.

The United States responded by blocking the island as much as possible, by using numerous aircraft carriers that circled around the island, they were trying to threaten them, and also to be able to block or to respond quickly to any attack from Cuban territory.

Find the length of the missing leg of a right triangle given a leg of length 15 and a hypotenuse of length 17. Leave your answer
Alex Ar [27]
Using Pythagorean's Theorem of a^2+b^2=c^2, with a and b being two legs and c being the hypotenuse.
 You can find that the leg(15) squared is 225. The hypotenuse(17) squared is 289.
289-225=64
The square root of 64 is 8
So the missing leg of the triangle has a length of 8 units.
