Answer:
19.68
Explanation:
Given:
Vertices : (-5,2), (3,2), (1,6)
To get the length of each side, we need to
Length = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
calculate the distance between the points ;
Taking, (-5,2), (3,2)
L1 = √(3 -(-5))^2+ (2 -2)^2
L1 =√(3 + 5)^2 + 0^2
L1 = √8^2 = √64 = 8
Taking L2 ; (3,2), (1,6)
L2 = √(1 -3)^2 + (6 - 2)^2
L2 = √ (-2)^2 + 4^2
L2 = √ 4 + 16
L2 = √20 = 4.47
Taking L3 ; (-5,2), (1,6)
L3 = √(1 - (-5))^2 + (6 - 2)^2
L3 = √(1 + 5)^2 + (6 - 2)^2
L3 = √6^2 + 4^2
L3 = √36 + 16 = √52
L3 = 7.21
Therefore, perimeter = L1 + L2 + L3
8 + 4.47 + 7.21 = 19.68
Answer:
B. The Channel Tunnel connecting the United Kingdom and France reduced travel time between these nations
E. Land has been cleared to make room for France's famous vineyards
F. A highway through Mount Blanc connects Italy and France
Explanation:
One of the five themes of geography is the human-environmental interaction. The human-environmental interaction basically means that the humans and the environment interact with each other and affect each other, sometimes in positive manner, sometimes in negative manner. There are many examples for this geographic theme across the globe.
The Channel Tunnel between the UK and France is an underwater tunnel. Its purpose is to make the traveling easier and faster between the two nations. It has been built in the sea waters, and fortunately it is not having any negative impacts on the environment.
France is one of the biggest producers of vine in the world. In order to have the amount of grapes needed for France to produce lot of vine it needs lot of agricultural land. This has been accomplished by clearing the land from the wild vegetation over time. While this has had a very positive impact on the economy of France, it has had very negative effect on the wildlife as it has totally ruined the habitat for lot of species.
Italy and France are separated by a massive mountain range, the Alps. The Alps are very large and very high, but nonetheless the humans managed to find ways to build highways through them despite all the difficulties. The highways are state of art through the Alps, and they are very useful for the countries in the region as these highways connect them, and not making them isolted. It has not been so great for the environment though, as lot of changes have been done to the mountain range, and every day there's thousands of animals that die on the highways.
True it is the fourth or fifth largest river in america
The body of water that the city of Los Angeles is located on is called the Los Angeles River. It now flows through a concrete channel on a fixed course, since it has been redrawn after many chaotic floods. The river is rarely used however for fresh water for the city, as it is now very polluted and has urban discharge in it's water, so the aqueducts in the city are now used for the fresh water mainly utilized in Los Angeles.
Answer:
<em>The Minerals Management Service (MMS)</em>
Explanation:
In 2010 Deepwater Horizon project exploded and killed 11 people causing also the largest oil spill in US history.
The MMS was the federal agency responsible for overseeing offshore drilling, however, they had received financial favors (bribes) from oil companies and had a severe conflict of interest, they ignored science and underestimated environmental impacts in order to ensure the speedy approval of oil industry projects among other acts of negligence. The MMS was in part responsible for this event, or at the very least for not handling correctly.
