Answer:

Different parts of Earth's surface receive different amounts of sunlight. The sun's rays strike Earth's surface most directly at the equator. ... Because of the Earth's tilt the sun's rays strike the surface at a slant at the poles; they are less focused. This spreads the rays over a wide area.

Basic answer: more

Extra:

Regardless of the time of year, the northern and southern hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. This is because during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit.

Latitudes are angles that range from zero degrees at the equator to 90 degrees North or 90 degrees South at the poles. ... Temperature is inversely related to latitude. As latitude increases, the temperature falls, and vice versa. Generally, around the world, it gets warmer towards the equator and cooler towards the poles.

No, it hits the equator directly, then the other parts of the world on an angle The closer you are to the the poles, the greater the angle

4x+28=2x+24+2x+2 slove for x

Alinara [238K]

The answer you are looking for is x = 0 (or undefined)

To solve for x, you would first combine all the like terms on the right side. To do so, add 2x and 2x to get 4x and add 24 and 2 together to get 26. This will give you 4x + 28 = 4x + 26, which you can now solve.

To find x, you would get the x by itself. However, in doing so you would get 0 or 0x. This is because you would subtract 4x on both sides to cancel out the 4x on the right, but in this case, it will also cancel out the 4x on the left. Thus meaning the answer is 0 or undefined.

I hope this helps!

What is the distance between (0,-8) and (3,2)

DerKrebs [107]

Answer: $\Large\boxed{Distance=\sqrt{109}}$

Explanation:

Given information

(x₁, y₁) = (0, -8)

(x₂, y₂) = (3, 2)

Given the distance formula

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Substitute values into the given formula

$Distance=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(2-(-8))^2}$

Simplify values in the parenthesis

$Distance=\sqrt{(3)^2+(2+8)^2}$

$Distance=\sqrt{(3)^2+(10)^2}$

Simplify the exponents

$Distance=\sqrt{9+100$

Simplify by addition

$\Large\boxed{Distance=\sqrt{109}}$

Hope this helps!! :)

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Timbuktu

Explanation:

It became part of the Mali Empire early in the 14th century. In the first half of the 15th century, the Tuareg tribes took control of the city for a short period until the expanding Songhai Empire absorbed the city in 1468. A Moroccan army defeated the Songhai in 1591 and made Timbuktu, rather than Gao, their capital.
