Explanation:

because the earth equator is warmed by the most direct Ray's of the sun air at the equator is hotter than air further north or south.this hotter air rises up at the equator and as colder air moves in to take its place winds begin to blow and push the ocean into waves and currents

How are Mexico and the United States similar nations?

NISA [10]

Well, D is definitely correct - they both share cultures, especially along the border, because they used to be one country in the past.
I'm not sure about the second answer though, perhaps C (They both work together as economic partners.) is correct because they do trade a lot.

What is the value of X6? Show the solution.

wariber [46]

Answer : The value of $x_6$ is $\sqrt{7}$ .

Explanation :

As we are given 6 right angled triangle in the given figure.

First we have to calculate the value of $x_1$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 1 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_1)^2=(1)^2+(1)^2$

$x_1=\sqrt{(1)^2+(1)^2}$

$x_1=\sqrt{2}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_2$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 2 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_2)^2=(1)^2+(X_1)^2$

$(x_2)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{2})^2$

$x_2=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{2})^2}$

$x_2=\sqrt{3}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_3$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 3 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_3)^2=(1)^2+(X_2)^2$

$(x_3)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{3})^2$

$x_3=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{3})^2}$

$x_3=\sqrt{4}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_4$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 4 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_4)^2=(1)^2+(X_3)^2$

$(x_4)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{4})^2$

$x_4=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{4})^2}$

$x_4=\sqrt{5}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_5$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 5 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_5)^2=(1)^2+(X_4)^2$

$(x_5)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{5})^2$

$x_5=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{5})^2}$

$x_5=\sqrt{6}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $x_6$ .

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle 6 :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(x_6)^2=(1)^2+(X_5)^2$

$(x_6)^2=(1)^2+(\sqrt{6})^2$

$x_6=\sqrt{(1)^2+(\sqrt{6})^2}$

$x_6=\sqrt{7}$

Therefore, the value of $x_6$ is $\sqrt{7}$ .

¿A que llamamos Coordenadas geográficas?

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Las coordenadas geográficas son un sistema de referencia que permite que cada ubicación en la Tierra sea especificada por un conjunto de números, letras o símbolos. Las coordenadas se eligen, en general, de manera que dos de las referencias representen una posición horizontal y una tercera que represente la altitud.
